### Gentoo

:::note
SomeWM is not currently part of the official Gentoo Portage tree or the [GURU](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU) project overlay. Use the third-party overlay below instead.
:::

SomeWM is packaged in the [somewm-gentoo-overlay](https://github.com/shuber2/somewm-gentoo-overlay):

```bash
eselect repository add somewm git https://github.com/shuber2/somewm-gentoo-overlay.git
emaint sync -r somewm

echo 'gui-wm/somewm ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/somewm
emerge -av gui-wm/somewm
```

This installs somewm and all dependencies, building it from source via the ebuild. After installation, skip directly to [Launch](/docs/getting-started/first-launch).

A live `9999` ebuild (tracking `main`) and a `1.4.9999` ebuild (tracking the `release/1.4` branch) are also provided for those who want the latest changes.

### NixOS

A `default.nix` is provided for building on NixOS:
