Installation

Dependencies

Required regardless of install method:

Package	Purpose	Notes
clipse	Clipboard daemon	github.com/savedra1/clipse
gtk3	UI toolkit
python-gobject	GTK3 Python bindings	PyGObject
wl-clipboard	Wayland copy/paste	wl-copy, wl-paste
wtype	Wayland paste simulation	Needed for auto-paste
xdotool	X11 paste simulation	X11 users only
xclip	X11 clipboard fallback	X11 users only

You only need the Wayland or X11 toolchain, not both.

Arch Linux (AUR)

yay -S clipse-gui
# or
paru -S clipse-gui

This installs the clipse-gui binary and pulls required dependencies.

From Source

git clone https://github.com/d7omdev/clipse-gui
cd clipse-gui

The project uses just as a task runner:

Command	Action
just install	Build and install system-wide
just build	Build without installing
just run	Run locally without installing
just uninstall	Remove installed files

Manual install (no just)

If you don't want just, the Makefile targets map directly:

make build
sudo make install

Verifying the Install

clipse-gui --version
which clipse-gui

Then check the daemon is reachable:

pgrep -a clipse

If no output appears, start the daemon — see Getting Started.

Uninstalling

# AUR
yay -R clipse-gui

# Source
just uninstall

Config files at ~/.config/clipse-gui/ are not removed automatically. Delete manually if desired:

rm -rf ~/.config/clipse-gui
