-if you would like to continue using Vifm while the program runs, which is most likely the case if it runs in its own window, run the task in the background using '&'.

If xterm didn't work try gnome-terminal, urxvt, konsol, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terminal_emulators etc]. Did you noticed that you didn't need to specify the current directory? This is because Vifm launches '!' commands in the current directory.
