Build

There are some dependencies you'll need to build from source. Some people suggested using the following commands:

Ubuntu

sudo apt install build-essential libkf5config-dev libkdecorations2-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev extra-cmake-modules libkf5guiaddons-dev libkf5configwidgets-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev gettext

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S kdecoration qt5-declarative qt5-x11extras    # Decoration
sudo pacman -S cmake extra-cmake-modules                    # Installation

Fedora

sudo dnf install cmake extra-cmake-modules  
sudo dnf install "cmake(Qt5Core)" "cmake(Qt5Gui)" "cmake(Qt5DBus)" "cmake(Qt5X11Extras)" "cmake(KF5GuiAddons)" "cmake(KF5WindowSystem)" "cmake(KF5I18n)" "cmake(KDecoration2)" "cmake(KF5CoreAddons)" "cmake(KF5ConfigWidgets)"

In order to install the theme and add it to your decorations do the following:

git clone https://github.com/ishovkun/SierraBreeze
cd SierraBreeze
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DKDE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON
sudo make install

To avoid logging out, issue

kwin_x11 --replace &

That is it! Your new decoration theme should appear in Settings → Application Style → Window Decorations.
