Installation
-
First you need
stack
install it using your package manager or follow their installation guide to install it. -
Now clone the repo to
~/.config/xmonad
git clone https://github.com/AtifChy/xmonad.git ~/.config/xmonad
- After cloning it go to that dir
cd ~/.config/xmonad
and run
stack install
Note: This command creates a
xmonad
executable file and moves it to~/.local/bin
. Make sure~/.local/bin
is added to your$PATH
.
- Recompile xmonad
xmonad --recompile
- Now you can start using xmonad. Start it using your
xinitrc
. By putting
exec xmonad
in your xinitrc
. By default xmonad recompiles on every login. If you don't want xmonad to recompile every time you start it then put
exec ~/.local/share/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
in your xinitrc
. It will use previously compiled binary to start xmonad.
Note: My xmonad config reads color & font from
Xresources
. Here you can find my Xresources. Merge it usingxrdb -merge /path/to/Xresources
.
