Dependencies

Qtile has a set of dependencies that currently need to be installed from fresh repository checkouts. This will become much simpler once the new features we depend on make it into distros, but until then, please follow the instructions in the Qtile documentation.

Installation

  1. Install the Qtile library and executables:

    python setup.py install

  2. Create a Qtile configuration directory and create a configuration file. It is probably easiest to start with one of the configuration files in the qtile-examples repository:

    mkdir ~/.config/qtile
git clone https://github.com/qtile/qtile-examples.git
cp qtile-examples/config/config.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py

  3. Make Qtile run as your window manager. If you are using a login manager, you can just do:

    sudo cp resources/qtile.desktop /usr/share/xsessions

    and select 'Qtile' as your session type. More information on starting qtile is available in the documentation.
