dotfiles ┐【￣～￣】┌

These are my personal dotfiles. I'm using:

• Manjaro i3
• i3-gaps
• GNU Emacs
• Z shell
• Oh My Zsh
• GNU stow

TODOS:

1. Update this README for the migration to GNU stow and emacs prelude
2. Making an own conky, conky_maia-like ..*conky
3. Sorting the "Prerequisites" by importance
4. Improve the README.md or maybe make a wiki.
5. Getting away from Manjaro i3 (?)

Yaourt Install

• cli-visualizer - Command line visualizer.

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S emacs git termite python-pip zsh-theme-powerlevel9k powerline-fonts awesome-terminal-fonts texlive-most firefox thunderbird evince veracrypt keepassx2 xorg-xbacklight pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth nyancat cmus
sudo pacman -R palemoon-bin epdfview
yaourt -S i3lock-color cli-visualizer

Setting up zsh

chsh -s /bin/zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"  # Downloading/Installing oh-my-zsh
cp -r /usr/share/zsh-theme-powerlevel9k ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/powerlevel9k  # copying powerlevel9k-theme to the desired directory
rm -rf ~/.*bash* # remove bash-stuff from your home directory.. don't do it if you wanna keep using bash

Setting up Emacs

If you have a clean emacs installation, you need to add the following snippet to your ~/.emacs file first.
This enables simple package installation.

(package-initialize)
(when (>= emacs-major-version 24)
  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list
   'package-archives
   '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")
   '("elpy" . "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/")
   )
  )

Afterwards you can do this, to get some neat packages.
More information on the following packages can be found inside of my .emacs file.
Open emacs and do the following:
(M = <Alt>/<Meta>)

M-x package-install auctex
M-x package-install dummyparens
M-x package-install elpy
M-x package-install flycheck
M-x package-install forest-blue-theme
M-x package-install google-this
M-x package-install nyan-mode
M-x package-install rainbow-mode

You can browse some more packages by entering this M-x package-list-packages in emacs.

Setups

Setting up some programs.

Installing Nextcloud-Client (optional)

wget https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Linux/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage --P ~/Downloads/
chmod +x ~/Downloads/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage /usr/bin/nextcloud

Finally "installing" the dotfiles.

git clone https://github.com/TuDatTr/dotfiles .dotfiles
stow 
rm -rf ~/.i3/
sudo ln -s ~/.scripts/pipes.sh /usr/local/bin/pipes

If you're using elpy you might want to do this.

pip install -r --user ~/dotfiles/requirements.txt
