Dependencies
build dependencies:
- cmake
- pkg-config
- qt5-devel
- qt5-svg-devel
- qt5-declarative-devel
- qt5-quickcontrols2-devel
runtime dependencies:
- qt5-svg

cd kindd; mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..; make
And finally, run it:

Polkit
kindd uses pkexec internally. For most Desktop environments, there is a pkexec agent already installed. Like these:
- xfce-polkit
- polkit-gnome
- pantheon-agent-polki
- mate-polkit
- polkit-kde-agent
But users of windows managers(like i3, dwm, awesome, ...) should install an agent. After downloading polkit-agent, paste this line into your wm's config file.(For i3, it's: i3/config):
- polkit-gnome
Tip for Windows-manager's Users
Arch users
Just paste this line into your i3.config:
exec /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
Void users
Just paste this line into your i3.config:
exec --no-startup-id /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
Hint: I don't have awesome or other windows managers. So you should change above lines according to your needs.
