• Xorg (for beginners, I recommend installing the whole package)
• xrdb (for reloading xresource colorschemes)
• A terminal emulator
  • if you use anything other than alacritty, modify the line after super + Return in ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc to your terminal's name (the theme_changer script will only change the colorschemes of alacritty or kitty)
• dmenu (for opening programs, showing keybindings, changing theme, using as power menu etc)
• luastatus (for status info)
• sxhkd (for shortcuts)
• feh (for setting wallpaper)
• Font: Iosevka Nerd Font
  • You can also use any other nerd font, but don't forget to add that font to *fonts[] in ~/.config/dwm/config.def.h and recompile)

You may choose not to install any of these and but doing so might make some things not work as intended

• Drop-down terminal: Kitty
  • Drop-down creator - tdrop
  • If you want to use anothera terminal as a drop-down terminal, replace kitty to your preferred terminal name in this line - RULE(.class = "kitty", .isfloating = 1) in ~/.config/dwm/config.def.h
• Paru
• picom
• networkmanager-dmenu
• brightnessctl
• exa
• starship
• macchina

Work in Progress!!!

WARNING!!! Backup your dotfiles from your home directory. These steps below will overwrite your configs.

If you don't want to use my configs for programs other than dwm and dmenu, then manually change the ~/.bin/theme_changer or else things might get out of control

• Clone this repo to your preferred directory and cd into it - git clone https://github.com/junnunkarim/dotfiles-linux && cd dotfiles-linux

• Install mandatory dependencies

  • sudo pacman -Su --needed base-devel coreutils xorg alacritty lua sxhkd feh ttf-iosevka-nerd
  • Install luastatus
    • sudo pacman -Su --needed cmake yajl python-docutils
    • Continue from here - luastatus

• Copy necessary configs -

  • cp -rf .bin .Xresources .xinitrc ~
    • Do not copy .xsession as it will change your keyboard layout to dvorak.
  • cp -rf .config/alacritty .config/dwm .config/dmenu .config/sxhkd .config/wallpaper ~/.config/

• Build dwm and dmenu

  • cd ~/.config/dwm && sudo make install
  • cd ~/.config/dmenu && sudo make install

• Create a desktop entry for dwm

  • sudo vim /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop

   [Desktop Entry]
   Encoding=UTF-8
   Name=dwm
   Comment=the dynamic window manager
   Exec=dwm
   Icon=dwm
   Type=XSession
  

• Open ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc and ~/.config/dwm/config.def.h in a text editor and modify the keybindings to your needs

• Login to dwm using a display manager

  • After getting into dwm press super + t and choose any colorscheme (this is to load the wallpaper for the first time)
