Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• Arch Linux
• Internet connection

Let's start the setup!

1. Uncomment Color and ParallelDownloads in /etc/pacman.conf. You can also set ParallelDownloads to 10.

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

2. Install yay.

pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git && cd yay-bin && makepkg -si

3. Download all the packages (These are the ones I use; if you are not me, you don't need most of them. Take a look and choose the ones you actually want).

3. I compile hyprlock myself using this patch, but you don't need to if you don't have a nvidia card.

4. Clone the repo.

cd && git clone https://github.com/FelipeFMA/nekrodots.git

5. Copy everything from ~/nekrodots/config/ to ~/.config/.

cp ~/nekrodots/config/* ~/.config/ -r

6. Put throttled.conf in the correct location (Note: This file contains my CPU undervolt settings; do not apply these settings if you are not me!).

sudo cp ~/nekrodots/throttled.conf /etc/

7. Put cpupower in the correct location (Note: This file contains my CPU clock settings; do not apply these settings if you are not me!).

sudo cp ~/nekrodots/cpupower /etc/default/

8. Enable the throttled service (Note: Activate the throttled service if you intend to utilize it).

sudo systemctl enable throttled

9. Enable the cpupower service (Note: Activate the throttled service if you intend to utilize it).

sudo systemctl enable cpupower

10. Move bashrc to ~/.bashrc.

mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.backup && cp ~/nekrodots/bashrc ~/.bashrc

11. Reboot and enjoy! If you haven't installed any display manager, you'll need to start hyprland by typing Hyprland on the TTY.

sudo reboot now

Note: the wallpaper is set using linux-wallpaperengine, you can change it on hyprland.conf.
