Installation

• First you need stack install it using your package manager or follow their installation guide to install it.

• Now clone the repo to ~/.config/xmonad

git clone https://github.com/AtifChy/xmonad.git ~/.config/xmonad

• After cloning it go to that dir cd ~/.config/xmonad and run

stack install

Note: This command creates a xmonad executable file and moves it to ~/.local/bin. Make sure ~/.local/bin is added to your $PATH.

• Recompile xmonad

xmonad --recompile

• Now you can start using xmonad. Start it using your xinitrc. By putting

exec xmonad

in your xinitrc. By default xmonad recompiles on every login. If you don't want xmonad to recompile every time you start it then put

exec ~/.local/share/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux

in your xinitrc. It will use previously compiled binary to start xmonad.

Note: My xmonad config reads color & font from Xresources. Here you can find my Xresources. Merge it using xrdb -merge /path/to/Xresources.
