Things to install

To make it work, we need to install some tools.

The Window Manager

Well, everything is setup inside the i3wm, so it's required.

    sudo apt-get install i3wm

The Background tool

Used to change the background each minute, if you don't want this, remove it on config file.

    sudo apt-get install feh

Monitor tool

This tool can be used to change the monitor\display. It's just a wrapper for xrandr, may help you to get used with this.

    sudo apt-get install arandr

Custom bar / LemonBar

I'm not using this, but if you want, you can install a custom bar.

    sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libxcb-randr0-dev
    git clone https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar.git lemonbar
    cd lemonbar
    make
    sudo make install

Bluetooth utils

Install font awesome

This is used on the i3bar, to add custom icons, if you don't want custom icon on the bar remove it from the config file.

    wget https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/raw/master/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf
    mv fontawesome-webfont.ttf ~/.fonts/

File Explorer

If you're not used with terminal to explore file, you can use Thunar to do so. It's pretty similar to gnome file version.
