Debian\015\012\015\012Since a package for [[Install#Debian|Debian]] does not yet exist, you need to compile [[subtle]] to get it up and running.\015\012\015\012# Install the dependencies with *apt-get*: libx11-dev, ruby1.9, ruby1.9-dev\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libx11-dev rake ruby1.9 ruby1.9-dev</code></pre>\015\012# (Optional) Install optional dependencies for RandR, xft, xinerama, and Xpm with *apt-get*: libxrandr-dev, libxft-dev, libxinerama-dev, libxpm-dev\015\012 <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libxpm-dev</code></pre>\015\012# Download either the latest stable package or clone the "Mercurial":http://www.selenic.com/mercurial repository\015\012# Change dir into the [[subtle]] folder (stable or latest) and issue rake: (rake1.9.1 for the latest version):\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>rake1.9</code></pre>\015\012\015\012 This should configure and get you ready for install\015\012# Issue the following command to install it:\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>sudo rake1.9 install</code></pre>\015\012\015\012h4.

Ubuntu\015\012\015\012Since a package for [[Install#Ubuntu|Ubuntu]] does not yet exist, you need to compile [[subtle]] to get it up and running.\015\012\015\012_Note that these instructions are tested on Mavrick (10.10)_\015\012\015\012# Install the dependencies with *apt-get*: libx11-dev, ruby1.9.1, ruby1.9.1-dev, libruby1.9.1 and rake\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libx11-dev rake ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev libruby1.9.1</code></pre>\015\012# Download either the latest stable package or clone the "Mercurial":http://www.selenic.com/mercurial repository\015\012# Change dir into the [[subtle]] folder (stable or latest) and issue rake: (rake1.9.1 for the latest version):\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>rake1.9.1</code></pre>\015\012\015\012 This should configure and get you ready for install\015\012# Issue the following command to install it:\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>sudo rake1.9.1 install</code></pre>\015\012# Add a [[subtle]] session to your xsessions:\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/subtle.desktop</code></pre>\015\012\015\012 And add this:\015\012\015\012 <pre><code>[Desktop Entry]\015\012Encoding=UTF-8\015\012Name=subtle\015\012Comment=subtle tiling window manager\015\012Exec=subtle\015\012Type=XSession</code></pre>\015\012# Reboot and enjoy [[subtle]]\015\012\015\012In case you are using "PulseAudio":http://www.pulseaudio.org/ and want to start [[subtle]] just via your *.xinitrc* you need to add following to it to get working audio:\015\012\015\012<pre><code>exec ck-launch-session subtle</code></pre>\015\012\015\012h3. Developer version\015\012\015\012If you like you can clone the "Mercurial":http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ repository and install the latest developer version as followed:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake [options]\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012The installer will copy the files to following "XDG":http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ default path: (see: rake help)\015\012\015\012| *Binaries* | _/usr/bin_ |\015\012| *Config* | _/etc/xdg/subtle_ |\015\012| *Extension* | _&#40;Ruby Dir&#41;/subtle_ |\015\012\015\012The paths can be easily changed (see: "rake":http://rake.rubyforge.org help) and are printed after configuring is done. [[subtle]] will create cache files to keep track of the settings, whenever you need to change a path later you need to delete the old caches with @rake clobber@.\015\012\015\012h2. Debug\015\012\015\012To enable debugging messages and levels, [[subtle]] must be compiled with debugging support. Since there is usually no debugging package available, it needs to be compiled manually:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake debug=yes\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012[[subtle]] can be run directly from the source directory and there is no need to install it system wide, just add it to e.g. your @~/.xinitrc@.\015\012
