Automated Install

Note

This config is made for a minimal Arch Linux install and might conflict with any other customized distro. I recommend using a base Arch install (Hyprland install from ArchInstall Script works).

1. Clone the repo and cd into it:

git clone --depth 1 --branch main --single branch https://github.com/chamal1120/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

2. Exit hyprland if you're currently in it.

hyprctl dispatch exit

Note

If you're using a display manager, you can switch to a different DE or to a new tty using ctrl + alt + f2.

2. Run below command:

make rice

3. Enjoy!

Manual Install

I manage my dotfiles with GNU stow. follow the below steps to simlink the files to necessary locations.

Important

Please make sure you backup your exisitng configs first.

1. Install stow:

paru -S stow # replace with your package manager's syntax

2. clone the repo:

git clone --depth 1 --branch main --single branch https://github.com/chamal1120/dotfiles.git

3. Navigate to the configs directory in the git repo:

cd dotfiles-linux-hyprland/configs

4. Remove your existing conflicting configs otherwise stow would not symlink at all.

5. Exit hyprland (You cannot remove existing hyprland config while running it as it will create a new one automcatically).

hyprctl dispatch exit

6. Delete the existing hyprland config while in TTY.

rm -rf ~/.config/hypr

7. Simlink the configs you need with stow.

stow --target=$HOME foot zsh fsh hyprland hyprpanel rofi starship nvim tmux yazi bat electron-flags-wayland icons  # You can simlink multiple files like this

Important

• Clone fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-auto-suggestions from their git repos.
• Make sure that you have installed fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-auto-suggestions to $HOME/.zsh-plugins/.
• Please use sudo when simlinking pacman config.
• Use the manual install for catppuccin tmux theme or change the .tmux.conf yourself to get it through tpm.

Note

I have turned off the animations and blur in the hyprland config. You can turn them on by editing the hyprland.conf file in the ~/.config/hypr directory.

Removing the symlinks

1. Exit hyprland:

hyprctl dispatch exit

2. Navigate to the configs directory in the git repo:

cd dotfiles-linux-hyprland/configs

3. Remove the symlinks:

stow -D --target=$HOME foot zsh fsh hyprland hyprpanel rofi starship nvim tmux yazi bat electron-flags-wayland icons  # Remove all the symlinks you linked earlier
