Instalation

Preinstall steps

1. Have a clean install of artix linux
2. Make sure arch repositories are enabled
3. OPTIONAL Have a display manager that works with Niri

Install

1. get files

   • create .config/yolk/
   • clone repository inside git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 git://github.com/KatieUmbra/Dotfiles ~/.config/yolk

2. install deps yay -S - < DEPENDENCIES

3. add lines to /etc/zsh/zshenv

   export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/zsh"
   export HISTFILE="$ZDOTDIR/.zsh_history"

4. run sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kitty /usr/bin/gnome-terminal for wofi terminal apps

5. install a couple python dependencies for eww script

• Navigate to $HOME/.config/yolk/eggs/eww/scripts/
• run $ uv venv
• activate the virtual environment $ source .venv/bin/activate
• install watchdog $ uv pip install watchdog
• install resettabletimer $ uv pip install resettabletimer

6. Download Feather icons and unzip it inside ~/.local/share/icons/feather

7. run yolk sync

Recommended but optional steps

Elkowar recommends to build eww yourself instead of installing an aur build, so if you want less buggy functionality, do the following:

• Build eww from source
• create a bin folder inside ~/.local
• copy/move the built eww binary inside ~/.local/bin and name it eww-bin

  # example
  cp target/release/eww ~/.local/bin/eww-bin

• make an ABSOLUTE symlink from eww-bin to /usr/bin/eww

  # example, replace YOUR_USER with your actual user
  sudo ln -sf sudo ln -sf /home/YOUR_USER/.local/bin/eww-bin /usr/bin/eww

alternatively you can do cargo install however this is up to you to figure out :P

Configuration

All the config files are available inside ~/.config/yolk

1. Main config file ~/.config/yolk/yolk.rhai

   • To change the colorscheme change the field data.color

     export const data = ${
         color: colors::colorschemes.{THEME}.{VARIANT},
         ...
     }
     

     check the showcases section to see all the possible options, or look inside colors.rhai

   • To change the wallpaper type change the field data.wallpaper_type, the options are weeb, plain, landscape

     export const data = #{
         ...
         wallpaper_type: "weeb",
         ...
     }
     

   • The rest of options are pretty self explaining, good luck ;)
