you don't need the rpm: assuming you have awesome already installed

Code:

mkdir -p ~/.config/awesome
cp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/
cd ~/.config/awesome
git clone http://git.sysphere.org/vicious

and then add

Code:

vicious = require("vicious")

on top of your ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

see the link above for example widgets.

My awesome crashed without the libaries vicious since this was compiled from source. Never the less everything is running normal now.
