### Installation

#### AUR Helper

The initial installation of [Paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru).

```sh
$ sudo pacman -Syu --needed neovim reflector git base-devel
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-git.git
$ cd paru && makepkg -si
$ cd ~ && rm -rf paru
```

#### Makepkg

To speed up the compilation of packages, edit the `makepkg.conf` file (use _nproc_ for see amount of CPU cores):

```sh
$ sudo nvim /etc/makepkg.conf

MAKEFLAGS="-j8"
```

#### Pacman

Enable parallel downloading of packages by editing the `pacman.conf` file:

```sh
$ sudo nvim /etc/pacman.conf

ParallelDownloads = 8
Color
```

#### Clone repository

Clone the repository and update submodules:

```sh
$ git clone --depth=1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/masajinobe-ef/archlinux-bspwm
$ cd archlinux-bspwm && git submodule update --remote --merge
```
