Note this has only been tested on Arch Linux, use with caution. +Note : `install.sh` will install Tilix to your `/usr` directory. If you are interested in installing Tilix to a custom location, you can specify the `PREFIX` as an argument to the `install.sh` script (e.g : `./install.sh $HOME/.local` will install Tilix into `$HOME/.local`). However, this requires you to add your `$PREFIX/share` directory to your `$XDG_DATA_DIRS` environment variable. Note there is also experimental support for autotools, please see the wiki page on [autotools](https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/wiki/Building-with-Autotools) for more information.
