Guide

To install Wall-E, simply place the .wall-e.cnf configuration file in your users home directory (~).

Wall-E uses json for its configuration, so it is very simple to setup. There are only 2 configuration options:

  • path - The folder containing the wallpapers.
  • minutes - The duration, in minutes, between each wallpaper change.

Lastly, run Wall-E! This can be achieved by doing the following:

  1. Set the script to be exectuable: chmod +x /path/to/wall-e.py
  2. Move the script to a location in your $PATH, this should work on most systems: sudo mv /path/to/wall-e.py /usr/bin/
  3. Run the script: wall-e.py

You will probably want to set this up to run as a startup application.
