Installation

Prerequisites

Gtheme is built with Rust, but the install script handles compilation for you. You need:

• Git — to clone the repository
• Rust toolchain — rustc and cargo (install via rustup)
• A Linux system with a display server (X11 or Wayland)

Install Gtheme

1. Clone the repository

   git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/daavidrgz/gtheme.git gtheme
   cd gtheme

2. Run the install script

   ./install.sh

   The script compiles Gtheme, sets up the configuration directory at ~/.config/gtheme/, and installs the gtheme binary.

3. Follow the initial setup

   The installer will guide you through choosing your first desktop and theme.

Tip

After installation, make sure ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH so you can run gtheme from anywhere.

Verify the installation

gtheme --help

You should see the Gtheme help output listing all available subcommands.

Updating

To update Gtheme, pull the latest changes and re-run the install script:

cd /path/to/gtheme
git pull
./install.sh
