Please follow your distribution installation procedure to install the screen. But, in Linux Mint does not have a screen installed by default, I need to install it first using the apt-get command before using it. On my Ubuntu Server Edition, Screen has been installed by default. It also allows you to share your sessions with others users and detach/attach terminal sessions. The screen application is very useful if you are dealing with multiple programs from a command-line interface and for separating programs from the terminal shell.

It offers a user to open several separate terminal instances inside a single terminal window manager.


The screen is a full-screen software program that can be used to multiplexes a physical console between several processes (typically interactive shells).
