* Introduction
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: h-12a4ef6d-13b6-4d1f-9e0f-a060b63b12d4
  :END:
  Here will be  presented what I do to  get my system up and running  on a fresh
  Arch Linux install.  These installation instructions were written  in order to
  get an Arch  Linux distribution up and running with  the same configuration as
  my main computer’s and my travelling laptop’s configuration.

* Install Arch Linux
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: h-cfe21de6-15fa-477a-a5ff-6cd81dfead19
  :END:
  I usually install Arch  from the [[https://www.archlinux.org/download/][vanilla ISO]], however I  began using [[https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi][archfi]] to
  install easily  the distro (I’ve done  it so many  times, I know how  it works
  now). Usually,  my distros will be  installed on at least  two partitions, one
  dedicated to =/home=, the other to the root partition =/=.

  If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted on
 =/boot=.  I generally  use rEFInd  as my  boot manager,  but if  you are  more
  comfortable with another one, just install what you want. Be aware that if you
  format your =/boot= partition, you will  delete all boot managers that already
  exist;  so, if  you are  dual-booting, *DO  NOT FORMAT  IT*. Yes,  I made  the
  mistake of wiping the Windows boot manager.

  The swap partition is always at least 4GB  large, and I should have a total of
  12GB of combined RAM  and swap. This means on my main computer  I have 16GB of
  RAM and 4GB of swap, but on my thinkpad I have 4GB of RAM and 8GB of swap.

** Get the latest live system with fast mirrors
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-da7951ee-e39a-4a59-a05d-7b7fffdc7825
   :END:
   When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command:
   #+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
     pacman -Sy reflector
     reflector -c France -c Germany -l 200 -p http -p https --sort rate \
               --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --verbose
   #+END_SRC
   This will update the  packages from your live ISO, and you  will get the best
   mirrors for your installation. Of course, change the countries accordingly to
   your location.

** Install the system
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-9f9e1fe5-4726-486b-9875-5fcfd91d0bb0
   :END:
   Then you can use a custom script to  ease your installation of Arch if you do
   not wish to do it manually. Personally, I’ve done it several times already, I
   know  how the  distro works,  I just  want to  be able  to install  my distro
   quickly now.
   #+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
     wget archfi.sf.net/archfi
     # Or from matmoul.github.io/archfi if SourceForge is down
     sh archfi
   #+END_SRC
   Then, follow the instructions and install Arch Linux. Take the opportunity to
   install as many packages as you need,  mainly =yay= which I use as my package
   manager  (it   is  just  a  wrapper   for =pacman=)  and  AUR   helper,  and
 =pacman-contrib= which will help us installing some packages later.

   Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media from
   your computer.

* Install basic packages
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: h-d2485595-3014-4151-a76c-63bc353359a8
  :END:
  We will need some basic packages in order to run the bootstrap file. So, let’s
  install =fish= (our shell running the script) and =git=.
  #+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
    sudo pacman -Sy fish git yadm
  #+END_SRC

* Execute bootstrap
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: h-c13d132f-9e69-4bb0-838b-29c7c5611f11
  :HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.config/yadm/bootstrap :exports code
  :END:
 =yadm= comes with  a very handy feature: its bootstrap  script. We can execute
  it by running the following command:
  #+BEGIN_SRC fish :tangle no
    yadm bootstrap
  #+END_SRC

  Notice these two header files, we can see  this is a fish script, hence why we
  need fish (which is my daily shell anyway).
  #+BEGIN_SRC fish
    #!/usr/bin/fish
    # -*- mode: fish -*-
  #+END_SRC
  Let’s take a look at what it does.

** Decrypt private yadm files
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-2ce7e756-3dab-4c12-a3b3-d1b6f8d4805d
   :END:
   Some  private  files are  stored  encrypted  in  the  repository of  my  yadm
   dotfiles. I will need them later on during the bootstrap execution.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
   yadm decrypt
   #+END_SRC

** Get a correct keyboard layout
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-89fb8f3a-6ec4-4701-a5d9-3e593c47ece9
   :END:
   I use  mainly the [[https://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil][bépo]]  layout, a French  keyboard layout inspired  by Dvorak
   layouts,  however I  sometimes need  to switch  back to  the standard  French
   AZERTY or the American  QWERTY layout, so I make it so  the Menu key switches
   for me my layout between these three.  This makes it so my xorg configuration
   of my keyboard looks like this:
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     set keyboardconf \
     'Section "InputClass"
             Identifier "system-keyboard"
             MatchIsKeyboard "on"
             Option "XkbLayout" "fr,fr,us"
             Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
             Option "XkbVariant" "bepo,,"
             Option "XkbOptions" "grp:menu_toggle"
     EndSection'
   #+END_SRC
   So, let’s set it as our keyboard configuration.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Set keyboard layout #########################################################\n\n"
     echo $keyboardconf | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
   #+END_SRC

** Set our locale
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-48678405-93ae-41b6-b44b-285ab0da4e92
   :END:
   I use two main  locales, the French and US UTF-8 locales, and  I like to keep
   the Japanese locale activated just in case.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     set mylocales "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" "fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8" "ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8"
   #+END_SRC
   Let’s enable these.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Set our locale ##############################################################\n\n"
     for item in $mylocales
         if test (grep -e "#$item" /etc/locale.gen)
             sudo sed -i "/$item/s/^#//g" /etc/locale.gen
         end
     end
   #+END_SRC

   This is my configuration I usually use when it comes to my locale.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     set localeconf "LANG=en_US.UTF-8
     LC_COLLATE=C
     LC_NAME=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
     LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8"
   #+END_SRC
   Let’s set it as our system’s locale.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     echo $localeconf | sudo tee /etc/locale.conf
   #+END_SRC
   Now we can generate our locale!
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Generate locale #############################################################\n\n"
     sudo locale-gen
   #+END_SRC

** Create some folders
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-85ce90ff-56dc-469b-bf08-480ecf27acc4
   :END:
   Let’s create  some folders  we might  need for  mounting our  drives, Android
   devices and CDs.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Create directories for mounting #############################################\n\n"
     sudo mkdir -p /mnt/{USB,CD,Android}
     sudo chown $USER:(id -g $USER) /mnt/{USB,CD,Android}
   #+END_SRC

   We also need the following folder for our nano backups.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/nano/backups
   #+END_SRC

** Set user’s shell to fish
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-c1a78394-c156-4a03-ae82-e5e9d4090dab
   :END:
   First of all, the bootstrap shell will set the user’s shell to fish.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Set fish as the default shell ###############################################\n\n"
     chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
   #+END_SRC

** Install =yay= if it isn’t already installed
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-fef57cea-cf1d-4900-9d90-ec6353ea9661
   :END:
   Now we’ll need to be sure =yay=,  our AUR helper, is installed on our system.
   If it is, we  don’t need to to anything. However, if  it isn’t, we’ll install
   it manually.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     if ! test (which yay)
         printf "\n# Installing yay ##############################################################\n\n"
         cd
         mkdir -p fromGIT
         cd fromGIT
         git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
         cd yay
         makepkg -si --noconfirm
     else
         printf "\n# yay already installed #######################################################\n\n"
     end
   #+END_SRC

** Install basic packages
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-887ec6d4-535d-4363-a0a7-884717b87a47
   :END:
   Let’s set in a custom varible what packages we’ll be needing.

   These are the  minimum I would have  in my own installation. You  can edit it
   however you want. Let’s install those.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Installing needed packages ##################################################\n\n"
     sudo pacman -Syu
     yay -S --needed $PACKAGES
   #+END_SRC

** Setting up Emacs: Installing Spacemacs
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-bd5a92c4-1a4f-49ea-a447-050a4ff0301c
   :END:
   Now,  the first  thing we  want to  do with  Emacs is  install its  Spacemacs
   distribution. We’ll clone its =develop=  branch into =~/.emacs.d=. We need to
   do this  prior to our dotfiles’  cloning because of some  submodules that are
   cloned  within  our =~/.emacs.d=  directory,  and git  won’t  let  us  clone
   Spacemacs in  an already existing  and non-empty  directory. To make  sure it
   isn’t one, let’s delete any potentially existing =~/.emacs.d= directory:
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Installing Spacemacs ########################################################\n\n"
     rm -rf ~/.emacs.d
   #+END_SRC
   Now we can clone Spacemacs:
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     git clone --single-branch --branch develop https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
   #+END_SRC
   And we can  restore what might have been deleted  in our =~/.emacs.d/private=
   directory:
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     yadm checkout -- ~/.emacs.d/private/
   #+END_SRC

** Set up dotfiles
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-cf2c3a24-b08e-4b07-9d51-31f6df781e62
   :END:
*** Update our dotfiles’ remotes
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: h-18967335-2637-44d6-b407-bb1d2d2718b9
    :END:
    This line in the bootstrap script will  test if the current user is using my
    username. If yes, it’s probably me.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      if ! test (echo "phundrak" | sed -e "s/^.*$USER//I")
    #+END_SRC
    If it is  me installing and using  these dotfiles, I want the  remotes of my
    dotfiles to be set to ssh remotes using my ssh keys.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Update yadm’s remotes #######################################################\n\n"
      yadm remote set-url origin git@labs.phundrak.com:phundrak/dotfiles.git
      yadm remote add github git@github.com:phundrak/dotfiles.git
    #+END_SRC
    I will also want to decrypt my encrypted files, such as said ssh keys.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Decrypt encrypted dotfiles ##################################################\n\n"
      yadm decrypt
    #+END_SRC
    Finally, let’s close this =if= statement.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      end
    #+END_SRC

*** Get =envtpl=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: h-39034878-7864-4a1c-855d-d9882795aac0
    :END:
    Before  we set  our  dotfiles  up, let’s  make  sure =envtpl= is  correctly
    installed. This package will be needed for generating our alt dotfiles.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf '\n# Install envtpl ##############################################################\n\n'
      yay -Syu python-envtpl-git
    #+END_SRC

*** Update our submodules
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: h-ae2f8ccb-a8f3-4699-832c-52cbc8b6d081
    :END:
    Now we  can download  the various  dependencies of our  dotfiles. To  do so,
    let’s run the following command:
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Getting yadm susbmodules ####################################################\n\n"
      yadm submodule update --init --recursive
    #+END_SRC

*** Generate our alt files
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: h-f924c003-a15c-4132-891f-36cd3948a7c1
    :END:
    Now this should  be the last manipulation on our  dotfiles: let’s create our
    alternate files:
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Generating alt files ########################################################\n\n"
      yadm alt
    #+END_SRC

** Installing Tryone’s Compton fork
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-aecf9f01-268c-40cd-8fc3-622c6ce822e4
   :END:
   For some reason, I  found installing directly this fork does  not work, and I
   need  to  install  it  after   I  installed  the  regular  compton  packages.
 =compton-tryone-git= will replace =compton= which will be removed.
   #+BEGIN_SRC fish
     printf "\n# Installing tryone’s compton fork ############################################\n\n"
     yay -S compton-tryone-git
   #+END_SRC

** Enable some of our services
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: h-1044da09-e992-4dcb-90ff-513725e1d450

   We have  installed some packages  which require  some services to  run. Let’s
   enable them.

    Now, if we wish  it, we can be added to the =docker=  group so we won’t have
    to type =sudo= each time we call Docker or Docker Compose.

    Ly is a display manager based on ncurses  which I find nice enough for me to
    use (I  generally don’t like using  display managers). Let’s enable  it, and

 =acpilight= is our  utility managing the brightness of our  screen. There is
    actually no service to  enable here, but we must ensure the  user is part of

    Thanks  to the  AUR  package ~nordvpn-bin~,  I no  longer  have to  manually
    maintain my  VPN connections manually  with OpenVPN. However, it  requires a

    I know we already installed =i3-gaps=  from the AUR, why reinstall it? Well,
    that is  certainly bad practices,  but this allowed  me to already  have the
    needed dependencies for building =i3=  installed. Now, let’s clone it, build
    it, and  install it. Doing  this is probably  very bad practices  though, be
    warned.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Install i3-gaps-rounded #####################################################\n\n"
      cd ~/fromGIT

    battery and on charging completed.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish

    When using rust, I bounce between two toolchains, the =stable= toolchain and
    the =nightly=  toolchain. To  install them,  I will  use =rustup=  which has
    already been installed.
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      printf "\n# Install the rust toolchains, nightly is the default one #####################\n\n"
      rustup default nightly

    This will both download the nightly toolchain and set it as the default one.
    Yup, I like to live dangerously.  Now to install the stable toolchain, let’s
    run this:
    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
      rustup toolchain install stable

    #+BEGIN_SRC fish
