Installing

Flatpak

Depending on how you've installed COSMIC Desktop, Minimon may show up in your app store by default. In COSMIC Store it should be under the "COSMIC Applets" category.

If Minimon does not show up in your app store, you'll need to add cosmic-flatpak as a source:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user cosmic https://apt.pop-os.org/cosmic/cosmic.flatpakrepo

Then, proceed to your preferred app store and search for Minimon.

From package manager

If on a .deb based distibution download latest version and install with the following commands:

sudo dpkg -i cosmic-applet-minimon_0.3.10_amd64.deb

Post-installation

Once it is installed, it should show up in cosmic settings when modifying the applets on the dock or panel.

It can also be launched as a conventional application from the terminal using:

flatpak run io.github.cosmic_utils.minimon-applet

or launched on desktop environments outside of COSMIC. It only functions as an applet on COSMIC Desktop, however.

Building

To build the applet, you will need just and probably xkbcommon, if you're on Pop!_OS, you can install it with the following command:

sudo apt install just libxkbcommon-dev

Run the following commands to build and install the applet:

just build-release
just install

Alternatively generate a deb or rpm file for installation:

just build-release
just deb
just rpm

sudo dpkg -i <name_of.deb>
