These specific openbox utility require some sill, such as git clone, using cpan, and such.

Distribution

So here below are my screenshots as install log for:

• Debian (for Debian/Ubuntu based)

I won’t give guidance for Arch user, as I guess they have already mastered about installing stuff.

I also use slackware, but I don’t have time to make a screenshot.

And the last one, the gentoo screenshot is not a sarcasm. I just love making screenshot okay!
