It should work with Ubuntu 14.04 and its derivatives.\n\n## Why have I chosen to build an indicator\n\nWhile the space in the notification area _is_ limited, I have concluded that this application needs to be an indicator first (see [future plans](#future-plans)) nonetheless. The whole point of this idea to have an easy way to access your GitHub notification regardless of your choice of the browser. While there are some browser extensions (like [github-notifier-firefox](https://github.com/sindresorhus/github-notifier-firefox) which I'm currently using) that basically do the same thing, I believe that anybody should be able to quickly access them regardless of their browser choice.\n\n## Future plans\n\nAfter some careful considerations and the [input I got from the elementary Google+ community](https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AleksandarTodorovi%C4%87r3bl/posts/FffNxGYJ3aw), I have decided that after I finish packaging the first version of this indicator, I'll look into re-creating this as a Vala application that will be integrated with the [Online Accounts plug](https://launchpad.net/switchboard-plug-onlineaccounts) that's going to surpass this indicator implementation, which will probably (I can't guarantee that at the moment) still be avalable for distros other than elementary OS.\n\n## Setup\n\nFirst, you'll need to run:\n\n```bash\n$ git clone https://github.com/aleksandar-todorovic/indicator-github\n```\n\nThen, you're going to have to generate a GitHub token.\n\n1. To do so, open up your settings.\n![01](https://r3bl.me/apps/img/indicator-github/01.png)\n\n2. Navigate to `Personal access tokens`. Once you're in there, click on `Generate new token`.\n\n3. Select a name for your token (it doesn't really matter which name are you going to choose). In the `Select scopes` section, everything should be unchecked except `notifications`\n![](https://r3bl.me/apps/img/indicator-github/02.png)\n\n4. Click on `Generate token`.\n\n5. Copy your token and paste it to the `token` file.\n\nFinal step:\n\n    $ python indicator-python.py\n\n\n## License\n\nThis program is licensed under GNU's GPL v3.
