Installation
CAUTION
First, see the bspwm’s installation before proceeding with this one related to
rofi
There are some dependencies that are needed in the following installation steps
That’s it
IMPORTANT
Installation can be done either through the OS package manager or via the
git clone
commandNote that the default OS repositories listed in
/etc/apt/sources.list
file and in/etc/apt/sources.list.d
directory may have older versions unlike therofi
’s official Github repositoryAs It is always is desirable to have the latest versions of any package or binary installed, I’d recommend installing them via their Github Repositories
Although, in this case the package’s version installed from the
apt
Package Manager differs only slightly from the github one
