Installation

Arch-based distributions

Yin-Yang can be downloaded from AUR as yin-yang package.

Source

Yin-Yang depends on python-systemd and pyside6 from pypi. python-systemd requires you have installed the systemd-headers from your package manager. You also need python development headers (e.g. python3-devel).

For CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora:

sudo dnf install gcc systemd-devel python3-devel libnotify

For OpenSUSE:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install gcc systemd-devel libnotify

For Debian, Ubuntu, etc.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libsystemd-dev gcc pkg-config python3-dev libnotify-bin

Then you can install Yin-Yang in a python virtual environment:

# bash is necessary to run the source command
bash
# Clones the code to your local machine
git clone https://github.com/oskarsh/Yin-Yang.git
cd Yin-Yang
# Installs Yin-Yang
./scripts/install.sh

For development, skip the install and instead create a venv in your home directory:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # this is for bash, there are similar scripts in the that directory for other shells like fish
pip install -r requirements.txt

Uninstall

Run scripts/uninstall.sh from a terminal and fill out the password.
