How do I install the latest awesome
window manager on Ubuntu?
For example,
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS contains awesome 3.5.6
- Ubuntu 16.10 contains awesome 3.5.9
but the latest release as of now is 4.0.
There is an unofficial ppa for awesome
window manager. You can run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:klaus-vormweg/awesome -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install awesome -y
This will install the latest awesome
(currently version 4.0) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 16.10, or 18.04 LTS.
