## How to install
Download [phinger-cursors-variants.tar.bz2](https://github.com/phisch/phinger-cursors/releases/latest/download/phinger-cursors-variants.tar.bz2) from the latest release, or any other [release](https://github.com/phisch/phinger-cursors/releases).
If you are on Arch linux, you can install the AUR package [phinger-cursors](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phinger-cursors).
Other distros currently don't yet have phinger-cursors in their repositories. So please install manually, as descibed below.
### By hand
For a manual installation, download and extract the [latest release](https://github.com/phisch/phinger-cursors/releases/latest/download/phinger-cursors-variants.tar.bz2) into the `~/.icons` directory.
And extract it into your users `~/.icons` directory:
```sh
tar -xf phinger-cursors-variants.tar.bz2 -C ~/.icons
wget -cO- https://github.com/phisch/phinger-cursors/releases/latest/download/phinger-cursors-variants.tar.bz2 | tar xfj - -C ~/.icons
```
This installs the cursor theme for your current user. To install for all users, extract into `/usr/share/icons` instead.
## How to enable
Enable your prefered variant (`phinger-cursors` or `phinger-cursors-light`) inside `~/.icons/default/index.theme`:
```ini
[Icon Theme]
Name=Default

```
And finally, enable it for GTK applications in your `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`:
```ini
[Settings]
gtk-cursor-theme-name=phinger-cursors-light
```
You might have a settings application installed that can do this for you, but I' rather describe how to do this by manually in case you don't have one installed.
### Distro repositories
At the time of writing this, phinger-cursors are not yet part of any major distro repos. So you are not yet able to install this through your favourite package manager.
