Getting started

Requirements

The installation script requires dconf and uuidgen (util-linux) to be available on your PATH to create a new profile and generate a random profile UUID.

Some distributions may require additional package(s):

• dconf-tools - transitional package for dconf-cli and dconf-editor (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
• dconf-gsettings-backend to ensure GSettings compatibility (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
• dconf-cli to ensure full CLI support (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
• dconf-service to ensure D-Bus support for the GSettings backend (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
• uuid-runtime to provide runtime components for the Universally Unique ID library (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)

The packages should be available for all distributions using the GNOME Terminal by default.

• allows to install the theme for a specific profile - the name of the profile the theme should be installed to can be passed using the -p/--profile option
• handles already existing Nord profiles via version comparison - if the Nord profile already exists and the script version is less than the installed version a confirmation is shown whether to override the theme of abort the installation, otherwise the profile will be
  • updated if the script version is greater than the installed version
  • reinstalled if the installed version is equal to the script version
