Manual

Backup your current config and download the files from GitHub to the empty ~/.config/awesome directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/kosorin/awesome-rice.git ~/.config/awesome

Auto Installer

You may use our autoinstall script, which is only supported on Arch Linux for now (this does not configure your .xinitrc)

git clone https://github.com/kosorin/awesome-rice.git ~/arice
cd arice
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

• Be aware we always recommend manual installation as everyone's computer is different, and sometimes there might be problems depending on what you have installed

Setup

Some dependencies are not listed and can be changed in config.lua file. So go ahead and set up your preferred applications.

In theme/theme.lua you can change font or icon theme.
