Fonts. First things first

Nerd Fonts

Download the latest release. (Aprox. 2G) (WARNING: Chrome might fail, so try with different browsers) Unzip the folder, cd into it and run ./install.sh Let it do its job.

Font Awesome

Grab the latest release here.

Also, for Polybar you will need to have installed version 4 for FontAwesome. For this,

yaourt ttf-font-awesome

and pick the right version from the AUR

Powerline fonts

These are specific to Powerlevel9k yaourt powerline-fonts

https://github.com/powerline/fonts

Download the latest release and unzip in your ~/.fonts directory

Powerlevel9k zsh theme

sudo pacman -S zsh-theme-powerlevel9k git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel9k Then do a source .zshrc or sourcez

Polybar

Do a yaourt polybar and you will see community and AUR versions. Get the AUR version, usually in position 3. There is a config example file in /usr/share/doc/polybar/config that is neither zipped and it is NOT in /usr/local/share/doc/polybar whatever as mentioned in the wiki. Instructions may be misleading. Well, they are.

Create a directory:

mkdir ~/.config/polybar and copy that config file inside your ~/.config/polybar

Test it by running polybar [name of the bar module as in the config file]

NOTE: To terminate already running bar instances

killall -q polybar

Create a file in ~/.config/polybar directory named launch.sh and add the following code.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Terminate already running bar instances
killall -q polybar

# Wait until the processes have been shut down
while pgrep -u $UID -x polybar >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done

# Launch bar1 and bar2
polybar top &
polybar bottom &
echo "Bars launched..."

Set up oh-my-zsh

colorls for beautiful colors when doing ls

You will need to install first ruby on your computer if it's not already installed More info on the arch wiki here. Then you will have to install ruby gems. You will find info on that same wiki Don't forget to add the binaries to your PATH

NOTE: the export PATH must go in your .zshrc file

And then you finally install colorls.

LightDM greeter modifications (Uses the slick-greeter)

Found in /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf There you may change the wallpaper. Default backgrounds found at /usr/share/backgrounds

GoLang

Download the zip file from the website here. There you will see the instructions to add the path to the go binaries (Also change your GOPATH env variable so it doesn't create a go directory in your home directory) Something like export GOPATH=$HOME/.go, hidden is better!! :)
