Prerequisites

  • jq - JSON processor (allows fastfetch-config to edit your fastfetch... config)
  • fastfetch - Obviously you'd need this.

(NOTE: The installer automatically installs those 2. The following one, it doesn't.)

  • bash & standard Unix utilities

Installing

Download install-ff.sh and open your terminal of choice where it is downloaded.

Run the following command:

chmod +x install-ff.sh

BUT WAIT!

The following command will remove your current fastfetch config. To keep it, run this command instead: ./install-ff.sh -nodelete

Now run this command (assuming you don't want to keep your current config):

./install-ff.sh

You are now installing fastfetch-config. You can sit back and relax -- The installer handles everything. It doesn't require a sudo password unless it needs to auto install dependencies.

Updating

Auto Updating has since been added, recommended by me, Madrinth! So you no longer need to go to GitHub every time you want to update it. You can use ff update, and to check you can use ff update check. Normally it should automatically update in the background or when you boot it up.
