#### Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
**Please note that the latest version of rofi in Ubuntu 16.04 is extremely outdated (v0.15.11)**
+**This workaround of installing packages from later versions is not adviced, use at your own risk.**
This will cause issues with newer scripts (i.e. with clerk) and we recommend to manually download and install newer deb files for rofi and dependencies from Zesty instead. You can find the rofi deb on [ubuntu's launchpad page for rofi](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rofi) and you will also need [xcb-util-xrm](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xcb-util-xrm) and a newer [libxkbcommon](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxkbcommon). First install the dependencies using `sudo dpkg -i <each-package-name>.deb` and then you should be able to `sudo dpkg -i rofi*.deb` and enjoy the features of the latest version.
