Do not bother. This repo is messed up, among other things it changes the bookmark folder used by nemo to blabla/luke/Pictures , Videos, etc... 'luke' ! who's luke? not me, not my user, so nemo was showing an error in the bookmarks. It does not even isntall properly some of the programs it pretends to. There is a typo in i3status that reads as i3staus. don't bother

You can edit the autoinstall script so you only install the core tho, that works, just make sure to edit the /core/000_i3_plain.sh file because it says "i3staus" and should say "i3status"

Also install compton, feh and lxappearance, and run this one: https://github.com/PhalanxHead/i3-gaps_MintInstaller/blob/master/UItweakApps/110_i3_Tweaks_conf.sh

That will give you a basic, working, i3-gaps system.

Afterwards check and modify to your liking the file at ~/.config/i3/config
You can search for configs online or read i3 docs.

Also if you want to use i3blocks for the status bar, start here: https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks#getting-started

And yes, it will work on mint 19 :)
