# dotfiles ┐【 ̄~ ̄】┌
These are my personal dotfiles.
I'm using:
* [Manjaro i3](https://manjaro.org/2017/03/07/manjaro-i3-community-edition-17-0-released/)
* [GNU Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)
## TODOS:
1. Make a proper pip requirements.txt for elpy and .scripts/i3lock.py
2. Making an own conky, conky_maia-like
3. Adding common keybindings of Emacs, i3 and aliases of zsh
4. Improve the README.md or maybe make a wiki.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
* [emacs](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Emacs) - A extensible, cusotmizable, free/libre text editor - and more.

```
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
sudo pacman -R palemoon-bin
yaourt -S i3lock-color
```
### 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
cp -r ./dotfiles/.* ~/.
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```
