This setup assumes you have installed Arch Linux, yay, git, and xorg-server or otherwise can start an x session. It also assumes that you have ssh keys for the machine added to Github. That should be it. If you are on something other than Arch Linux, you will have to manually install all the dependencies and clone this repo to get all the config files.
If you have arch/yay/git/xorg-server up and running you can get the files in this repo into their respective locations with the following:
cd ~/.configgit initgit remote add afreidz git@github.com:afreidz/dots.gitgit fetch afreidzgit pull afreidz masterrm -rf ~/.config/.git(to break the link with my github repo and give you freedom to expand)
This config relies heavily on the colors defined in .Xresources. I know its an outdated pattern, but I prefer as many colors defined variably as possible. Therefore, you will find my .Xresources file here. You can copy/ln -s this to the ~/ directory and load it with:
xrdb ~/.Xresources
I have tried to automate some of the installation process into a bash script. Running it will prompt you for 4 separate actions:
- Required Dependencies this is awesomewm, picom, and all the CLI packages this config makes use of.
- Required Binary Programs there are a few lightweight programs used in this config to handle some things I have yet to script. Some of these may not be TRULY required, but YMMV if you choose to skip this
- Optional Binary Programs these are just a few heavier binary programs that I prefer to use daily. Some/all of them may have awesomewm keybinds, so skipping this could cause a few errors when executing the key combos.
- Fonts there is a system-wide font and an icon font I use in this config. I had decided that installing them programattically would be non-trivial and therefore I will assume you can install them on your system yourself.
- SF Pro
- Material Design Icons Desktop
- Operator Mono Lig (licensed font, either you can obtain it, or change the config to something different)
You can run the setup script with
bash ~/.config/awesome/scripts/install.sh
With a little luck, this should give you a decent amount of the config I have in the screenshots. One thing I notice is that there will be no wallpaper by default. Odds are your screen will be black. If you run nitrogen you can add a folder of images and set your wallpaper. From there, the config should handle setting it each time you log in.
Keybinds (I use Mod4 or cmd/win as my modifier):
