This repository contains my dotfiles.

1. First install all the dependencies needed throughout the installer.

sudo apt install curl
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexjercan/.dotfiles/master/packages.txt | xargs sudo apt install -y

1. Clone the repository and install the dotfiles

cd
git clone https://github.com/alexjercan/.dotfiles.git
cd .dotfiles
./ubuntu

2. Install ghcup

Note: Choose default settings for ghcup

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

3. Install xmonad

cd .config/xmonad
stack install

Stack will install xmonad in $HOME/.local/bin which might need to be added to the PATH.

4. Install a terminal emulator and set it to default in xmonad config to use it. I wanted to try kitty out.

sudo apt install kitty

5. At this point you can use xmonad and install a browser and any other tools.

Note: Super+Enter starts the terminal

Note: You can use .xsession to start xmonad with startx

sudo apt install xinit

.xsession:

#!/bin/sh
exec xmonad

startx

Note: The other option would be to use a display manager and add the following into /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop Or use default.desktop with the modified .xsession

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Xmonad
Comment=Use this session to run xmonad as your desktop environment
Exec=xmonad
Icon=
Type=Application

Note: I couldn't get xmonad-wallpaper to install so I can use setRandomWallpaper. TODO: Check the repo and try to bump the versions somehow

Note: To install lux on ubuntu check lux

Note: For oh my zsh check omz

Note: For auto suggestions check zsh-autosuggestions

Note: Install xmobar and dependencies

sudo apt install libxpm-dev
cabal install xmobar --flags="all_extensions"

Note: Install brave-browser brave.com or any other browser

Note: Install neovim (latest)

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
sudo apt update

Install packer packer

Open neovim and run :PackerSync
