# This script easily gives gitpod graphical 
# capabilities by using tightvncserver and noVNC.
# To be lightweight, it also uses awesomeWM as the
# graphical environment, but you can change it
# by editing this script.

# Package management
sudo apt update

sudo apt install awesome tightvncserver xterm libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev xorg

# awesomeWM
mkdir ~/.config/awesome
cp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

# You can configure vncserver with the -geometry option,
# which will change the screen size.

# and a height of 400.
