Hey, I'd like to check this out, but do not have a GitLab account. Is there any alternative?

[-] christos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Hey, this is your lucky day: You don't need a github account.

All you need to do to easily install this project is to install git.

Open a terminal.

If you are using a Debian-based distribution (ubuntu, linuxmint, pop_os etc), copy-paste this command:

sudo apt install git

If you are using an Arch-based distribution:

sudo pacman -S  git

From there, follow the instructions on the repo.

Have fun!

If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask for it.
