Building from source does not install Qtile
See original GitHub issueHi, I’m sorry if this issue looks repetitive, but I took a look at a bunch of issues and posts related before posting this issue.
I installed all dependencies (I assume) and followed the documentation guide to install it localy, so this is what prompted after running the pip install .
command:
It looks nothing wrong happened, but when I type the command whereis qtile
, it does not show the binary location or it shouldn’t since it is Python?
I can tell that there is no command recognized as qtile through zsh, showing the red color. It should’ve be green (this probably answers my previous doubt)
I also created this desktop entry, but I’m not able to start Qtile (obviously):
Just for some context: I had Qtile installed normally through pacman, but I wanted to have it installed locally so I could tweak somethings myself, like changing the order of terminal names list in the utils.py
that guess_terminal()
tries to find.

The Exec line would need to be
/home/erlonbie/.local/bin/qtile start
Great. I take it that it’s working now. If so, feel free to close this and have fun tweaking your installation of qtile.
