Installation
Important
The git version of qtile-extras should only be installed alongside the git version of Qtile. This is because qtile-extras aims to main compatibility with the latest version.
If you are using the tagged release version of Qtile then you should use the matching tagged release of qtile-extras. These are guaranteed to be compatible but you will not be able to benefit from new features/bugfixes unless Qtile also publishes a new release.
PyPi
I have no current intentions to package this on PyPi. This means installation may be a bit more “manual” than for other packages.
Arch users
This is the easiest option as the package is in the AUR. Using your favourite
helper, you just need to download and install the qtile-extras
package (for the tagged release)
or the qtile-extras-git
package (for the latest git version).
Fedora
There is no official package for Fedora yet but you can install it from Copr:
dnf copr enable frostyx/qtile
dnf install qtile-extras
Everyone else
You can use pip
to install the package e.g. pip install --user .
.
Alternatively, you can use the build
and installer
modules and run:
python -m build --wheel
python -m installer dist/*.whl
