| 1 | ## Installation | 1 | ## Installation |
| 2 | ------------ | ||
| 3 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | ||
| 4 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | ||
| 5 | 2 | ||
| 6 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | 3 | Hit command below in the root dir |
| 7 | necessary as root): | ||
| 8 | 4 | ||
| 9 | ```bash | 5 | ```bash |
| 10 | make clean install | 6 | make clean install |
| 11 | ``` | 7 | ``` |
| 12 | 8 | ||
| 13 | ## Running dwm | 9 | Or if you use arch-based distro and like pacman |
| 14 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | 10 | |
| 15 | ```bash | 11 | ```bash |
| 16 | exec dwm | 12 | makepkg -si |
| 17 | ``` | 13 | ``` |
| 18 | 14 | ||
| 19 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | 15 | ## Execution |
| 20 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | 16 | |
| 17 | Probably the best way is to use your xinitrc config file and do something like | ||
| 21 | 18 | ||
| 22 | ```bash | 19 | ```bash |
| 23 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | 20 | dbus-run-session dwm |
| 24 | ``` | 21 | ``` |
| 25 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | 22 | |
| 26 | like this in your .xinitrc: | 23 | If you fancy having system stuff in your status bar you need to do something like this or use your own **better** |
| 24 | statusbar. | ||
| 27 | 25 | ||
| 28 | ```bash | 26 | ```bash |
| 29 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | 27 | while |
| 30 | do | 28 | mem_used=$(free -h | awk '/^Mem:/ {print $3}') |
| 31 | sleep 1 | 29 | cpu_load=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2 + $4"%"}') |
| 32 | done & | 30 | battery_capacity=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity) |
| 33 | exec dwm | 31 | volume_level=$(wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@) |
| 32 | disk_usage=$(df -h / | awk 'NR==2 {print $3 "/" $2}') | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | xsetroot -name "$volume_level | Btr: $battery_capacity% | RAM: $mem_used | CPU: $cpu_load | Disk: $disk_usage | $(date '+%d.%m.%Y (%a) %T')" | ||
| 35 | do | ||
| 36 | sleep 5 | ||
| 37 | done & | ||
| 38 | |||
| 34 | ``` | 39 | ``` |
| 35 | 40 | ||
| 36 | ## Configuration | 41 | ## Configuration |
| 37 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | 42 | |
| 38 | and (re)compiling the source code. | 43 | You can customize looks via `Xresources` and keybindings via `config.h`. After you're done hit `super` + `r` to restart |
| 44 | the dwm process. | ||
