## Installation (symlink to repository)
Run `git clone git@github.com:ifl0w/RandomWallpaperGnome3.git` to clone the repository.
Run `./install.sh` to make a symbolic link from the extensions folder to the git repository.
This installation will depend on the repository folder, so do not delete the cloned folder.
__Installing this way has various advantages:__
* Switching between versions and branches.
* Updateing the extension with `git pull`
## Installation (manually)

```
Then open the command prompt (Alt+F2) end enter `r` without qotes.
Now you should be able to activate the extension through the gnome-tweak-tool.
