⚠️ ReadMe if your distribution doesn't have yad! (f.e. debian/ubuntu/mint flavours) #207

Description

@frostworx

All GUI elements in stl use Yad (>=7.2)

As several distributions don't have a up2date yad packages and/or a yad package maintainer (f.e. debian/ubuntu/mint flavours),
stl also has an option to directly define a yad binary from command line
which makes a global/system wide yad installation no longer a hard dependency (won't change the Arch PKGBUILD though)

Valid parameters for <YAD> in stl yad <YAD> are:

  • an absolute path to custom binary (f.e stl yad /path/to/custom/yad)
  • conty (so simply stl yad conty - if not found the latest Conty release will be downloaded automatically and a yad symlink pointing to it will be defined as yad) huge download
  • ai or appimage (so simply stl yad ai or stl yad appimage - if not found @kadogos appimage from here will be downloaded and defined as yad binary automatically) small download

If you have no own custom yad binary, and not planning to use Conty as 32bit container, probably simply using stl yad ai is the best option, although the used yad version is (currently) not up to date (7.3)
