Installation

Required packages

Arch Linux

Using an AUR helper:

paru -S 7zip blueman bottom chafa cliphist eww fastfetch git grim hyprcursor hypridle hyprland hyprland-qtutils hyprlock hyprpaper jq kitty librewolf-bin networkmanager network-manager-applet nm-connection-editor noto-fonts noto-fonts-cjk noto-fonts-emoji oh-my-zsh-git otf-font-awesome pacman-contrib pavucontrol pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse polkit-gnome python-dasbus python-pywalfox-librewolf rose-pine-cursor rose-pine-hyprcursor slurp socat swaync swayosd-git ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd udiskie wallust wl-clipboard wlogout wofi xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland zoxide zsh zsh-autosuggestions

Optional packages:

paru -S betterdiscordctl discord element-desktop openrgb rose-pine-gtk-theme-full syncthing thunderbird

Windows 11

Open a PowerShell Window as administrator: Right-click on Windows logo -> Terminal (administrator).

Install required packages through WinGet:

winget install Git.Git --override "/SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /o:SSHOption=ExternalOpenSSH"
winget install --silent glzr-io.glazewm LibreWolf.LibreWolf Microsoft.PowerShell Python.Python.3.13 Rustlang.Rust.MSVC vim.vim

Install Visual Studio 2022 C++ Build Tools and Windows 11 SDK (required for compiling Matugen):

winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community --override "--wait --quiet --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.26100"

Retrieve updated Path environment variable to get the cargo command:

$Env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

Install Matugen through cargo:

cargo install matugen

To get the matugen command, add %UserProfile%\.cargo\bin to the Path user environment variable: Type systempropertiesadvanced in PowerShell or Start Menu -> Environment variables -> User variables section -> Edit Path -> New.

Install DesktopManager Windows PowerShell (not PowerShell 7) module (used to set wallpaper):

powershell.exe "Install-Module -Name DesktopManager"

Install Pywalfox:

pip install pywalfox
pywalfox install

Install the Pywalfox add-on for Firefox/LibreWolf/Thunderbird as desired.

Install Python websockets for .scripts\glazewm-autotiling.py:

pip install websockets

To run GlazeWM on startup, either:

Create a shortcut to the shell:startup directory:

$WshShell = New-Object -COMObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($Env:AppData + "\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\GlazeWM.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = $Env:ProgramFiles\glzr.io\GlazeWM\cli\glazewm.exe
$Shortcut.Arguments = "start"
$Shortcut.Save()

Or create a scheduled task which triggers at logon (starts GlazeWM faster but needs to be run as administrator):

$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "glazewm.exe" -Argument "start"
$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtLogon
$Task = New-ScheduledTask -Action $Action -Trigger $Trigger
Register-ScheduledTask "StartGlazeWMAtLogon" -InputObject $Task

Run setx MOZ_DISABLE_SAFE_MODE_KEY 1 or the keybinding to start LibreWolf (Win + Shift + F) will not work properly.

Optional applications with keybindings/configs:

winget install --silent Element.Element Fastfetch-cli.Fastfetch  Helix.Helix Mozilla.Thunderbird ShareX.ShareX Syncthing.Syncthing Vencord.Vesktop

Repository setup

Define temporary alias (included in PowerShell 7 & Zsh configs):

# PowerShell
function Alias-Cfg { git --git-dir=$HOME\.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME $Args }; New-Alias -Name cfg -Value Alias-Cfg
# Unix Shell
alias cfg="git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME"

Clone the repository:

git init --bare "$HOME\.dotfiles" --initial-branch main
cfg config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
cfg remote add --fetch origin https://git.ahur.ac/Viyurz/dotfiles.git
cfg branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main
cfg pull

Create the file .config/rice-cs/config.toml, based on the example in .config/rice-cs/config.toml.example.

Note: If you are not using the default paths for XDG_CONFIG_HOME and/or XDG_CACHE_HOME, you need to update the output path for templates in .config/matugen/config.toml.

Re-login to apply the new configuration.
