how to install Terminfo

[Rollniak (Yan)]

I found a work around on internet, that doesn't fix the problem with 
termcap anyway.

Here a little overview:

I use Alacritty on a OpeSUSE machine, i have fresh installed a FreeBSD.
Im my first ty to use my FreeBSD server i get this kind of messages :

$ tmux
open terminal failed: can't find terminfo database
$ vi
vi: No terminal database found

I have tried to import the alacritty terminfo ( 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alacritty/alacritty/master/extra/alacritty.info 
).

   $ echo $TERM
   alacritty
   $ curl -O 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alacritty/alacritty/master/extra/alacritty.info
   $ infotocap alacritty.info >> /usr/share/misc/termcap
   $ cd /usr/share/misc/
   $ cap_mkdb -f terminfo terminfo
   $ date
   $ ls -l terminfo.db # check of the last mofification

Then i logged out and logged in but nothing changes. so this part still 
doesn't work...

The workaround is to set TERM as xterm-256color is the .shrc on FreeBSD.
I'm not reallly happy with that. if you have some idea to get this fix 
done with termcap. :)

For this part it was the fact that vi check permission and i forget to 
use the exclamation mark in my command to write and exit.
