Hello, There is several ways of having it. The easiest is for debian user to use the debian menu generator for awful.menu. The script is somewhere in the wiki.
The second option is https://github.com/terceiro/awesome-freedesktop . This module has a desktop and file menu that works relatively well. Its main issue is the spped. On laptop with hard drive, it can take up to 20 seconds to load. The third option is to use mine from my config (bottom left in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Elv13/radical/master/screenshot/all.png ). This version has full asynchronous support and is backed by the same engine as the Gnome 2 menu. It is, in theory, as fast as it can get and simple enough to install. It require appmenu.lua, df_async.lua and the Radical module. All available at http://github.com/Elv13 (require Awesome 3.5+, a 3.4 version is available but is really old) Finally, you can use mod4+p. While not a real menu, it has most of the feature and is already there by default on Awesome 3.5+. I hope this help!
