+ optionally installs Alacritty from source: (yes/no)

• build+install_alacritty.sh - review this install script

+ IF you need to uninstall Alacritty run this script:

cd ~/i3-dots/scripts
chmod +x uninstall_alacritty.sh
sudo ./uninstall_alacritty.sh

• uninstall_alacritty.sh - review this uninstall script
