🔧 Setup.

WARNING

The installation guide is under construction, try it at your own risk. It is also ment only for Arch based systems. All other distros are not supported and I will not be helping with issues related to them.

📦 Dependence Installation.

NOTE

In the guide, I will be using Yay as the AUR helper. Or change the commands to your preferred one.

• Yay Installation.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

• System packages.

yay -Sy hyprland hyprlock hypridle xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland hyprpicker \
	swww waybar waybar-updates rofi-wayland swaync wl-clipboard cliphist \
	swayosd-git brightnessctl udiskie devify polkit-gnome playerctl \
	pyprland grim slurp \

• CLI/TUI related packages.

yay -Sy fastfetch fzf jq eza fd vivid fish starship ripgrep bat yazi

• GUI Apps.

yay -Sy pavucontrol satty nemo zathura zathura-pdf-mupdf qimgv-light mpv

• Color Theme.

I like the Catppuccin theme, so, for GTK and QT apps use:

yay -Sy catppuccin-gtk-theme-macchiato catppuccin-cursors-macchiato \
		qt5ct qt5-wayland qt6-wayland kvantum kvantum-qt5 nwg-look

• Icon Theme.

First off, we have to download the icon package from the releases page of their repo. You can do it very easily by using curl.

curl -LJO https://github.com/ljmill/catppuccin-icons/releases/download/v0.2.0/Catppuccin-SE.tar.bz2

Once you have that, its time to extract the compressed package.

tar -xf Catppuccin-SE.tar.bz2

And finally, move them to the ~/.local/share/icons directory.

mv Catppuccin-SE ~/.local/share/icons/

• Fonts.

Install the following fonts:

yay -Sy ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-mono \
		ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-common ttf-font-awesome noto-fonts-cjk ttf-ms-win11-auto

After that, refresh the font cache:

fc-cache -fv

🗂️ Dotfiles Installation.

Yadm, It lets you manage your dotfiles with git without the hassle of creating a git repo on your home directory as well as gitignoring a lot of files.

It also lets you pull from the repos that you set up on remote to your local repo and then push to your personal remote.

We are going to install yadm. You can do it using pacman with the following command:

yay -Sy yadm

After that, its time to clone the dotfiles repo into your system using yadm.

IMPORTANT

If any file in your local machine differs from the one in the remote repository, your local file will remain unmodified. You'll need to manually review and resolve any differences.

yadm clone https://github.com/LyingOnCables/dotfiles.git

Now, logout from your current desktop session and log back into the Hyprland session.

At this point your done installing the configuration!
