How to install Plank dock on Solus OS

I don’t know why I cannot live without Plank on my Linux desktop. Today, I am testing the new Solus OS 1.2.0.5 on my Thinkpad T450 laptop. After login to the Solus Desktop, Plank is the first one I am looking for and I am trying to install it on Solus. I was thinking that installing Plank on Solus would take some times since Solus is quite different from other Linux distribution I ever used.

But fortunately, Plank is available via Solus Software Center. So I can install it easily. So here is the final result of my Solus desktop with Plank installed.

  1. Wow, thank you very much. It’s indeed pretty easy, now the only thing lacking is the Plank settings manager but there must be some way to tweak it a little.

    Cheers!
