WayCast

Appearance

Installation ​

Dependencies ​

WayCast requires the following packages to work:

  • gtk4
  • librsvg
  • gio
  • gtk4-layer-shell
  • wayland

If you follow the installation steps below, all of this will be taken care of for you.

Nix Flakes ​

Add to your flake.nix inputs:

nix
waycast.url = "git+https://gitgud.foo/thegrind/waycast";

Add the overlay:

nix
  overlays = [
    inputs.waycast.overlays.default
  ];

We also provide a home manager module.

Just the package:

nix
nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.waycast.overlays.default ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.waycast ];
# or for home-manager:
home.packages = [ pkgs.waycast ];

Nix Build ​

If you don't use Nix to manage your packages, you can still use it to build from source.

Just clone the repo and run:

sh
nix build .

Build from source ​

You'll need the rust toolchain as long as the dependencies outlined above. Then you can just run:

sh
cargo install
