Not working for Ubuntu 22.04
I've tried all three branches: master, develop, and next-release. No joy.
The gdbus command at the end of the install script returns (false,'').
I'm on X11, not wayland (due to nvidia), and it is Gnome 42.
Cloned it directly into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@hedning:matrix.org and did git switches in there. Yes, gnome reset, but didnt bother to login/out/reboot. Got nothing at all; the keybindings for Gui-left and Gui-right do throw the window left and right, but they are the gnome/mutter default actions.
Shame. This was my daily driver :-{
it seems that it will not work on Gnome 42
from README
| Supports Gnome Shell from 3.28 to 3.38 on X11 and wayland.
Indeed a shame, I would love to use PaperWM on the latest DE

For What Its Worth, I did have the 'next-release' branch working on gnome 40.
I have a 4K monitor, and just being able to center the window I'm working with is a bit of a winner. Can't believe gnome std has left and right align kb shortcuts, but not "put it in the middle"!
damn... my thought exactly! I'm using gTiles as suggested by fellow redditors, allow me to customize where to put the windows, working great so far!
There was a fork somewhere with patches to make it work on recent gnome versions, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Edit: Found it: https://github.com/PaperWM-community/PaperWM
PaperWM-community next-release branch does not yet work on Ubuntu 22.04. There is a pull request that is not merged yet that adds support, at leats it works for me :) : https://github.com/PaperWM-community/PaperWM/pull/25

Off-topic but there's this entry in the dconf gnome schema: org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.move-to-center
You can write the value with:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-center "['<Key>x']"
where x might be another function key or some other key that doesn't need brackets. Here's my binding for moving a window to the workspace to the right
/org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-workspace-right "['<Shift><Super>Right']"
Thx to @manpagebob To center current window left-right (and up-down) with standard gnome....
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-center "['<Super>C']"
