### Installation
|
|
|
|
**Important:** Remove all older versions of the theme from your system before you proceed any further.
|
|
|
|

|
|
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/Arc

**Manual Installation**
|
|
|
|
To build the theme you need
|
|
* `autoconf`
|
|
* `automake`
|
|
* `pkg-config` or `pkgconfig` if you use Fedora
|
|
* `libgtk-3-dev` for Debian based distros or `gtk3-devel` for RPM based distros
|
|
* `git` if you want to clone the source directory
|
|
|
|
If your distributions doesn't ship separate development packages you just need GTK 3 instead of the `-dev` packages.
