How to install

⭐ This update of Tiling Shell is on GSE too!

Manual installation

There are two builds and you need only one of them, according to your GNOME Shell version:

• For GNOME Shell versions 45, 46, 47 and 48: [email protected]
• For GNOME Shell versions from 42 to 44: [email protected]

To know your GNOME Shell version, run gnome-shell --version.

Extract the downloaded archive. Copy its content to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] directory. You need to reload GNOME Shell afterwards (e.g. by logging out). Then you can enable the extension:

/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
