Used the below commands to install the packages.

sudo snap install polybar-git --edge --devmode

sudo pip3 install pywal

sudo apt-get install fonts-noto

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine

ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd - download from https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ and install manually

cantarell-fonts download from https://cantarell.gnome.org/

ttf-meslo-nerd download from https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/patched-fonts/Meslo/M/Regular/complete/Meslo%20LG%20M%20Regular%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:regolith-linux/releas

Just install the packages that is found on the official repository of the ubuntu , if the packages is not available on the official repo of the ubuntu , just search for the github repository and build it from the source . make sure u satisfuy the dependencies , on ubuntu i cant say you will install all those dependencies becuase its really hard to set it up on the ubuntu and ubuntu based distributions , just comment here what you can't install , i will help you out to resolve that package

just go here and search for the packages : https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

from command line : add the repository of the debian from : https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

and update apt
use : sudo apt-cache search "packagename"
eg . sudo apt-cache search polybar
for searching relevant package and install it

1 . polybar : https://github.com/polybar/polybar#installation
2 . i3-wm
3 . nmtui : NetworkManager -> sudo apt install NetworkManager
4 . pywal : sudo pip3 install pywal
5 . nerdfonts: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads - download font from here and move .ttf or any to /usr/share/fonts and run fc-cache -v to reload font cache .

search other packages like :
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gtk2-engines-murrine
available on official repos

thanks. As you said, getting too many errors on ubuntu, even after installing the required packages as above in #1 (comment)

Will try to fix them all and document the process here.

Thanks for the great work.
