boykisser-tools
Everything the boykisser command does comes from boykisser-tools: a set of small shell scripts plus the GTK Boykisser Center, in the tools/ folder of the main repository.
How they’re shipped
Section titled “How they’re shipped”The tools are built into Debian packages. Every ISO build packages them fresh from the same commit, so the image and its tools always match. Installed systems get newer versions from boykisser update, which checks for tools-v* releases on GitHub and installs them with apt. No extra repository needed.

On plain Debian 13
Section titled “On plain Debian 13”The tools work on any Debian trixie system, though some (theme, wallpaper, welcome) assume XFCE or KDE and the Boykisser artwork. Grab the .deb files from the newest tools-v* release and:
sudo apt install ./boykisser-*.debAfter that, boykisser update keeps them current.
Building them yourself
Section titled “Building them yourself”You only need dpkg-deb:
git clone https://github.com/taynotfound/BoykisserLinuxcd BoykisserLinuxtools/build-debs.sh # packages land in tools/dist/sudo apt install ./tools/dist/*.debUpgrading from 1.x
Section titled “Upgrading from 1.x”Version 1.x came from the old boykisser-tools repository and installed into /usr/local/bin. Version 2 moves everything to /usr/bin and removes leftover copies in /usr/local/bin that no package owns, so old versions can’t shadow the new ones. If you’re on 1.x, install the 2.x packages once by hand as shown above. From then on boykisser update does it for you.
