lpm install write-xl
Or, alternatively, simply copy the plugins in the plugins folder, and the colors from the colors folder into your local copies of both, and install a few extra plugins from lite-xl-plugins.
Or, you can simply pull an all-in-one-release from the releases page.
The non-mobile releases for write-xl are pre-built with lite-xl-simplified's all-in-one mode, meaning that it will be created as a single executable,
that uses ~/.config/write-xl as its user directory, with the write-xl plugin installed.
The mobile releases for write-xl are built with lite-xl-android, for x86, x86_64, arm64 and armv7, and should function out of the box on most
android phones.
