JWM Kit - Hyperbola package
To install JWMKit grab the PKBUILD file from the BUILD page and follow the instructions provided. It's easy. Just follow the instruction on the page.
SOURCE : https://codeberg.org/JWMKit/JWM_Kit
Pre-built packages
Pre-built packages are not longer provided for Hyperbola due to the following reasons.
- Building the package is so simple any user can do it.
- Building a package on the same system it will be deployed is a better solution than pre-built packages.
- Arch based distros change the Python module path every time python is updates. This causes packages to break, or require packages to have work arounds.
