Installing i3-gaps

Dependencies

i3-gaps has some packages that are required for it to work so install these things:

sudo apt install libxcb1-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libpango1.0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libyajl-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libev-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev autoconf xutils-dev libtool

You also need to install libxcb-xrm-dev, but I got Unable to locate package libxcb-xrm-dev when trying to install from the apt repositories on Ubuntu 16.04. If this happens to you, just install it from source using these commands:

mkdir tmp

	#!/bin/bash

	# This installs alacritty terminal on ubuntu (https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty)
	# You have to have rust/cargo installed for this to work

	# Install required tools
	sudo apt-get install -y cmake libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev xclip

	# Download, compile and install Alacritty
	git clone https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty

	from __future__ import print_function
	import requests
	import json
	import cv2

	addr = 'http://localhost:5000'
	test_url = addr + '/api/test'

	# prepare headers for http request
	content_type = 'image/jpeg'
