## Installation
1. Install [sp](https://gist.github.com/streetturtle/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3) - CLI client for [Spotify for Linux](https://www.spotify.com/ca-en/download/linux/):
```bash
$ sudo git clone https://gist.github.com/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3.git ~/dev/
$ sudo ln -s ~/dev/sp /usr/local/bin/
```
Check if it works by running `sp help`.
1. Get an 'id' and 'secret' from [developer.spotify.com](https://beta.developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/app-settings/) and paste it in the header of the `sp` (`SP_ID` and `SP_SECRET`) - this enables search feature.
1. Clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**
1. Require spotify-shell at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
```lua
local spotify_shell = require("awesome-wm-widgets.spotify-shell.spotify-shell")
```
1. Add a shortcut which will show Spotify Shell widget:
```lua
awful.key({ modkey, }, "d", function () spotify_shell.launch() end, {description = "spotify shell", group = "music"}),
```
1. It uses icon from [Papirus Icon Theme](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme). So you should either install this icon theme, or download an icon you want to use and provide path to it in **spotify-shell.lua**.
