Xtermjs seems to come up in browser, but nothing happens... tells me 'Hello from xterm.js >' Wont accept any input, no cursor

Installed with npm install @xterm/xterm is there more to install?

My goal is to run 'asterisk -rvvvv' and interact with the application, Will this do that?

I dont know anything about asterisk, but if -rvvvv gives you an interactive terminal interface, then chances are high that xterm.js can properly render its output.

Ofc there is, xterm.js is just the terminal emulator providing keyboard input and screen output. You will also need a connection (e.g. via websocket) to a PTY running some process (typically a shell).
