How to install newm in Ubuntu?

archisman-panigrahi opened this issue · 3 comments

There was a recent question in Ask Ubuntu about the installation procedure of newm in Ubuntu.

Can someone provide a step by step instruction to install newm from the source?

Let's target the latest version, 22.04 LTS.

This is quite simple, just install the dependencies, if you like it, I leave them and then just follow the instructions of the installation with pip

Closing this for now, feel free to reopen, if there are more specific questions.

@jbuchermn I might be missing something, but I cannot seem to find a list of dependency's I have tried installing the following on ubuntu server 22.04:

  • meson
  • libwayland-server0
  • libwayland-client0
  • libwayland-cursor0
  • libwlroots10
  • libwayland-bin
  • libwayland-dev
  • wayland-protocols

but still get an error when trying to install pywm with pip saying that wayland-server is not installed, I can create a seperate issue if you like but am hoping that this will be easy enough to fix so I do not have to do that.
