If you create a package for any other distribution, please consider contributing the template.\n\nIf you are using **Void Linux**, there's a [xbps template available](https://github.com/jaagr/void-packages/blob/polybar/srcpkgs/polybar/template) that you could use to build the project.\nA [pull-request has been submitted](https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/pull/5192) but it is still not merged into the official repositories so I wouldn't hold my breath.\n\nIf you are using **NixOS**, **Polybar** is available in the unstable channel and can be installed with the command `nix-env -iA nixos.polybar`.\n\n\n### Dependencies\n\nA compiler with C++14 support ([clang-3.4+](http://llvm.org/releases/download.html), [gcc-5.1+](https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html)).\n- cairo\n- libxcb\n- python2\n- xcb-proto\n- xcb-util-image\n- xcb-util-wm\n- xcb-util-xrm\n\nOptional dependencies for extended module support:\n- alsa-lib *required by `internal/volume`*\n- jsoncpp *required by `internal/i3`*\n- libmpdclient *required by `internal/mpd`*\n- libcurl *required by `internal/github`*\n- wireless_tools *required by `internal/network`*\n\nFind a more complete list on the [dedicated wiki page](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki/Compiling).\n\n\n### Building from source\n\nPlease [report any problems](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/issues/new) you run into when building the project.\n\n  ~~~ sh\n  $ git clone --branch 3.0.5 --recursive https://github.com/jaagr/polybar\n  $ mkdir polybar/build\n  $ cd polybar/build\n  $ cmake ..\n  $ sudo make install\n  ~~~\n\nThere's also a helper script available in the root folder:\n\n  ~~~ sh\n  $ ./build.sh\n  ~~~\n\n\n### Configuration\n\nDetails on how to setup and configure the bar and each module have been moved to [the wiki](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki/Configuration).\n\n#### Install the example configuration\n  ~~~ sh\n  $ make userconfig\n  ~~~\n\n#### Launch the example bar\n  ~~~ sh\n  $ polybar example\n  ~~~\n\n\n### Running\n\n[See the wiki for details on how to run polybar](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki).\n\n\n## License\n\nPolybar is licensed under the MIT license.
