Ratpoison has few dependencies, and does not require any that are not already contained within a full install of Slackware. There are no fancy graphics or other decorative gimmicks in Ratpoison. Window management in done entirely with key shortcuts. Ratpoison makes use of prefix maps which proceed every other binding which is bound to <key>Ctrl + t</key> by default. 
 +===== Installation ===== 
 +Ratpoison is available from the SlackBuilds repository. You can download the SlackBuild and source code [[https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/desktop/ratpoison/|here]]. For information on how to use SlackBuilds refer to [[https://slackbuilds.org/howto/|SlackBuild Usage HOWTO]]. After installation you will need to run Slackware's //**xwmconfig**// command line utility in your shell to select the appriopriate xinitrc script. Use the arrows keys to select //xinitrc.ratpoison// and then press <key>Return</key>. Now ratpoison will start when you run the startx command. Do not worry about your compositors and wallpapers; those goodies can be launched via Ratpoison's configuration.
