My bspwm settings and custom configurations.
-
Follow BSPWM's installation guide. Basically:
-
Compile and install BSPWM
git clone https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm.git cd bspwm make && make install
-
Compile and install SXHKD
git clone https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd.git cd sxhkd make && make install
-
Update your system to integrate the changes:
-
Open up
~/.xinitrc
and add the following to the bottom:sxhkd & exec bspwm
-
Make .xinitrc executable
chmod +x ~/.xinitrc
-
-
Create an entry for your login manager, if any:
-
Make the file
/usr/share/xsessions/bspwm.desktop
and add the following to it:[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=BSPWM Comment=Binary Space Partitioning Window Manager Exec=xinitrc Type=XSession
-
Link your .xinitrc to an executable file in your path
ln -s ~/.xinitrc /usr/bin/xinitrc
-
-
Be sure to have the following packages installed
libxcb xcb-util xcb-util-wm
Other dependencies include:
libxft-dev libx11-dev

-
Set up custom configuration (this repo)
git clone https://github.com/desyncr/bspwmrc.git cd bspwmrc mv ~/.config/bspwm ~/.config/bspwm.$(date +%s) && \ ln -s $PWD ~/.config/bspwm mv ~/.config/sxhkd ~/.config/sxhkd.$(date +%s) && \ ln -s $PWD ~/.config/sxhkd
