## 📋 Prerequisites
This guide assumes your system has the latest updates before going ahead with the installation.
> [!NOTE]
> You may want to keep the source directories of the tools you download in a suitable location for future reference as you may need to recompile them to apply configuration changes.
Arch
Install dependencies:
```sh
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel extra/git extra/libx11 extra/libxcb extra/libxinerama extra/libxft extra/imlib2
```
If you find yourself missing a library then this can usually be found by searching for the file name using pacman:
```sh
$ pacman -F Xlib-xcb.h
extra/libx11 1.6.12-1 [installed: 1.7.2-1]
usr/include/X11/Xlib-xcb.h
```
Debian/Ubuntu
Install dependencies:
```sh
sudo apt install build-essential git libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-res0-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev libimlib2-dev
```
It is worth checking the version of gcc on debian based systems as they may come with older implementations that can result in compilation errors.
```sh
gcc --version
```
You would expect at least v8.x or above here.
If you find yourself missing a library then this can usually be found by searching for the file name using apt-file, a tool that have to be installed separately:
```sh
$ sudo apt install apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update
$ apt-file search xcb/res.h
libxcb-res0-dev: /usr/include/xcb/res.h
```
Void Linux
Install dependencies:
```sh
sudo xbps-install -Su base-devel libX11-devel libXft-devel libXinerama-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel libxcb-devel imlib2-devel
```
If you find yourself missing a library then this can usually be found by searching for the file name using xlocate, a tool that have to be installed separately via the xtools package:
```sh
$ xlocate yajl/yajl_gen.h
yajl-devel-2.1.0._4 /usr/include/yajl/yajl_gen.h
```
## 🛠️ Installation
Clone the repository, then compile and install.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/dwm-titus.git && \
cd dwm-titus && \
make && \
sudo make install
```
- A dwm.desktop file will be placed in `/usr/share/xsessions/` so if you are using a login manager you should now be able to select dwm as the window manager when logging in.
- If you do not use a login manager then you already know what you are doing. Add `exec dwm` at the end of your `~/.xinitrc` file.
> [!TIP]
> - By default new terminals are opened by using the keyboard shortcut of SUPER + X while rofi is started using SUPER+R
> - Check `config.h` for the keybindings, and change them according to your preference.
