# After [minimal Arch linux setup](https://www.rxtsel.dev/en/blog/how-to-install-arch-linux-using-the-command-line/), then
My setup for Arch Linux with Hyprland, Waybar, Kitty, and other tools. This setup is for a desktop environment, but it can be adapted to a laptop. This setup is based on **solarized-dark** colors.

## Installation
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
sudo pacman -S git &&
git clone git@github.com:rxtsel/dot.git ~/
```
## 1. Install paru (AUR helper)
```bash
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si
```
## 2. Install dependencies
1. **Pacman packages**:
- **Base packages**:
```bash
sudo pacman -S neovim kitty neofetch chromium yazi ntfs-3g glib2 gvfs pipewire wireplumber polkit-kde-agent mpv thunar ark bluez bluez-utils ripgrep xsel wl-clipboard pavucontrol unzip zsh swaync imagemagick mpv feh vulkan-tools vulkan-radeon fzf silicon bat exa thunderbird ghostty bluetui
```
- **Wayland packages**:
```bash
sudo pacman -S qt5-wayland qt5-wayland grim slurp tofi waybar wlogout swaync
```
2. **AUR packages**:
```bash
paru -S swww ffmpegthumbnailer xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git gammastep wlr-randr lightdm-git mkinitcpio-firmware 7zip
```
## 3. Oh-my-zsh
1. **Install Oh-my-zsh**:
```bash
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
2. **Exit the terminal and open it again**. Oh-my-zsh will ask if she wants to have zsh by default, you say `yes`.
3. **Install plugins**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting &&
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
```
4. **Edit `~/.zshrc`**. In my case, I use the following configuration:
```bash
rm ~/.zshrc && ln -s ~/dot/zsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc
```
_**Reboot compositor**._
## 4. Fonts
1. **For emoji support**, install the following fonts:
```bash
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts noto-fonts-cjk noto-fonts-emoji
```
2. **Custom fonts** for waybar, kitty, etc:
```bash
cd ~/Downloads/ &&
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.0.2/CascadiaCode.zip &&
sudo unzip CascadiaCode.zip -d /usr/share/fonts/CascadiaCode &&
wget https://github.com/sahibjotsaggu/San-Francisco-Pro-Fonts/archive/refs/heads/master.zip &&
unzip master.zip -d /usr/share/fonts/SanFranciscoPro -d /usr/share/fonts/SanFranciscoPro &&
fc-cache -f -v
```
## 5. Create symlinks for configurations
If a folder exists, it is deleted before create symlinks.
> **Note**: Only base configurations are included. You can add more configurations if you want. With `ln -s` command.
```bash
[ -d ~/.config/kitty ] && rm -rf ~/.config/kitty
[ -d ~/.config/gammastep ] && rm -rf ~/.config/gammastep
[ -d ~/.config/yazi ] && rm -rf ~/.config/yazi
[ -d ~/.config/zellij ] && rm -rf ~/.config/zellij
[ -d ~/.config/neofetch ] && rm -rf ~/.config/neofetch
[ -f ~/.zshrc ] && rm -r ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/dot/.config/kitty ~/.config/
ln -s ~/dot/.config/gammastep ~/.config/
ln -s ~/dot/.config/yazi ~/.config/
ln -s ~/dot/.config/zellij ~/.config/
ln -s ~/dot/.config/neofetch ~/.config/
ln -s ~/dot/.zshrc ~/
```
## 6. Utils for development (optional)
1. **Install [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm) node version manager**:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | zsh &&
export PATH="/home/rxtsel/.local/share/fnm:$PATH"
eval "`fnm env`"
```
2. **Install a node version**:
```bash
# list node versions remote
fnm list-remote
# install node version
fnm install
```
3. **Install fast package manager**:
```bash
npm i -g @antfu/ni
```
4. **Install `cz-cli` globally**:
```bash
npm install -g commitizen cz-conventional-changelog && echo '{ "path": "cz-conventional-changelog" }' > ~/.czrc
```
## 7. [rEFInd](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd) (optional)
rEFInd is more customizable than GRUB or systemd-boot; for example, you can change the theme, add icons, etc. It also allows the use of a mouse or touchpad, which is very useful when you have a wireless keyboard. Some features include:
- More customizable interface
- Ability to change themes and add icons
- Option to use mouse or touchpad
- Automatic detection of other operating systems, useful for multiboot setups
### 1. Install rEFInd
```bash
sudo pacman -S refind && refind-install
```
---
### 2. Uninstall Other Bootloaders
Before installing rEFInd, you need to uninstall any existing bootloaders such as GRUB or systemd-boot.
#### 1.1. For GRUB
1. **Remove GRUB**:
```bash
sudo pacman -Rns grub
```
2. **Clean up the EFI directory**:
Ensure no remnants of GRUB remain on your EFI partition.
- Check the contents of the EFI partition:
```bash
ls /boot/EFI
```
- If a GRUB directory exists (such as `GRUB` or `arch_grub`), remove it:
```bash
sudo rm -r /boot/EFI/[GRUB_directory]
```
#### 1.2. For Systemd-boot
**Remove systemd-boot**:
```bash
sudo bootctl remove
```
---
### 3. Customize rEFInd
In my case, I use a custom theme for rEFInd.
#### 3.1. Themes
Copy the theme folder to the rEFInd directory on the EFI partition:
```bash
sudo cp -r ~/dot/custom/refind/themes/ /boot/EFI/refind/
```
#### 3.2. Configuration File
Copy your custom `refind.conf` to the rEFInd directory:
```bash
sudo cp ~/dot/custom/refind/refind.conf /boot/EFI/refind/
```
#### 3.3. Editing `refind.conf`
To view partition UUIDs, execute:
```bash
blkid
```
Edit `refind.conf` to suit your needs, including the resolution, menu entries, and UUIDs:
```bash
nano /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf
```
Sample configuration:
```bash
resolution 2560 1440
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/minimal/icons/os_arch.png
volume "Arch Linux"
loader # /vmlinuz-linux or /vmlinuz-linux-lts according to your kernel
initrd # /initramfs-linux.img or /initramfs-linux-lts.img according to your kernel
options "root=PARTUUID= rw add_efi_memmap" # Replace with your partition UUID for / (root)
graphics on
}
menuentry "Windows 11" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/minimal/icons/os_win.png
volume "Windows 11"
loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
graphics on
}
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Be sure to edit `refind.conf` to reflect your specific hardware and partitioning setup.
For further customization options, consult the [ArchWiki rEFInd documentation](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd).
