This installation guide assumes you have already completed the first several steps of the Arch Installation guide, up to having booted the live environment.
[!NOTE] The console is not the terminal. The console appears for logging in on boot.
Once in the live environment, feel free to set your console font using setfont <font> if you'd like.
If you'd like to see a full list of available fonts, you can run ls /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts. Do not include the first dot or anything past it in the font name when using setfont.
Partition and format your drives according to the Arch Installation Guide. You must format your drives with Btrfs so that system backups work.
For the rest of the installation, an internet connection is needed to install packages. Please follow the Arch Installation guide to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi if you do not have an ethernet connection, which should work automatically.
[!NOTE] This step is not required, but could speed up package installation on the system.
Instructions here on the Arch Installation Guide.
In /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment the "Include" line under [multilib].
Optionally uncomment the Include under ParallelDownloads towards the top to let Pacman install multiple packages at the same time.
To install these dotfiles should be mostly as simple as cloning this repository into your Home directory and running the yet-to-be-documented-or-tested install scripts under ~/bin/installscripts/.
Run chmod +x ~/bin/installscripts/sysinstall.sh followed by ~/bin/installscripts/sysinstall.sh. This should kick off the main installation script, which may take a while.
Create ~/.config/hypr/hardware.conf. Configure monitors according to the Hyprland Wiki. Next, create ~/.config/hypr/workspaces.conf and make workspaces via workspace rules. If not using AMD, adjust the HARDWARE section of ~/.bashrc accordingly.
Make an account on OpenWeatherMap and get an API Key for One Call API 3.0. Feel free to limit the calls per day to 1000 so that you do not get charged anything if you wish.
Create ~/.config/waybar/modules/weather/weather_conf.py and fill in the following;
# OpenWeatherMap API and City ID
city_id = <7-digit city ID on OpenWeatherMap>
api_key = "<API Key from OpenWeatherMap>"
Once saved, run chmod a+x ~/.config/waybar/modules/weather/weather_conf.py to finish enabling weather on the status bar.
While you could simply throw auto-starting applications into ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf, I throw them into ~/.config/hypr/autostart-extra.conf instead if they're the sort of application I'm meant to be interacting with, rather than some daemon. You'll need to make the file yourself - here's an example;
#######################
### AUTOSTART EXTRA ###
#######################
exec-once = $Terminal
exec-once = ~/Applications/WebCord-4.10.0-x64.AppImage
exec-once = flatpak run one.ablaze.floorp
If you don't want to use this file, then you must remove the source from SOURCES at the top of ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf.
