How to install Karousel?

[thekarel]

Sorry if this sounds ridiculous :) I just got Fedora Kionite installed and haven't used KDE for 15+ years. So not sure how to go about it :)

I tried using KWin Scripts in System Settings, but that seems to install version 0.10, not the latest 0.15.
Downloaded the latest release, but not sure what to do with it.

Also, how would I go about installing " the org.kde.notification QML module"?

Thanks 🙏🏻

Karousel is a KWin script. To install the latest version (0.15) that is not yet in the KWin Scripts store, do a manual install:

1. Download the release tarball (or git clone).
2. Extract it. You should get a directory named karousel containing metadata.json, contents/, etc.
3. Copy this directory to ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/karousel (create the scripts folder if needed):

   mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts
   cp -r karousel ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/
   

4. In System Settings → Workspace Behavior → KWin Scripts, you should now see "Karousel". Enable it and configure as desired.
5. Restart KWin: kwin_x11 --replace on X11, or restart your Wayland session.

If you see an error about org.kde.notification QML module, that is part of KDE Frameworks. Install the required packages:

• On Fedora KDE: sudo dnf install plasma-framework kdeclarative
• The module is typically at /usr/share/qml/org/kde/notification/.

Karousel requires KWin, so it works only on KDE Plasma. Good luck!
