I3 = improved tiling windows manager and this is its base of operations.
We start from an up-to-date and clean install of Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon, XFCE or MATE as described on http://erikdubois.be.

#What can you do if the script does not execute?
Since I sometimes forget to make the script executable, I include here what you can do to solve that.
A script can only run when it is marked as an executable.
ls -al
Above code will reveal if a script has an "x". X meaning executable. Google "chmod" and "execute" and you will find more info.
For now if this happens, you should apply this code in the terminal and add the file name.
chmod +x typeyourfilename
Then you can execute it by typing
./typeyourfilename
Or you can follow these steps
#But that is the fun in Linux.
You can do whatever Y O U want.
