Note: This installation script is specifically designed for Arch Linux. It will work for a freshly installed system. If you've been using a different window manager, no worries - just be sure to take a complete backup of your current dots before running the script. And if you're already using Oh My Zsh, don't forget to remove that folder from your home directory
- Clone the repo and cd into the cloned folder.
git clone https://github.com/05Alston/qtyle
cd qtyle- Make the script executable
chmod +x install.sh- Run the script
./install.shNote: While this guide is primarily intended for Arch Linux users, If you're running a different OS like Fedora, NixOS, or Debian. You'll still be able to follow along and get a clear idea of how to set things up. (using your OS's package manager and other tools)
Keep in mind that this configuration is tailored to assume that the main files, like ".config", will be located in the home folder (~/). However, if that's not the case for you, don't worry - you'll just need to make a few manual adjustments to the dotfiles.
To get started, let's make sure we have all the necessary prerequisites. In this case, I'm using Paru as the AUR helper, but keep in mind that your system may require a different approach.
- Installation using paru

- Change the default shell to Zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)- Setting up Oh-my-zsh & plugins
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlightingWith all the necessary prerequisites now installed, the next step is to replicate my setup by copying the dotfiles
- Clone the repo and cd into the cloned folder.
git clone https://github.com/05Alston/qtyle
cd Cozytile- Copy the files using cp
cp -R ./. ~/Now that you're done with copying the dotfiles, it's time to hop into Qtile. This requires installing a display manager like lightdm. Here are the steps to install lightdm:
- Install it using paru
paru -Sy lightdm- Enable and start lightdm
sudo systemctl enable lightdm && sudo systemctl start lightdmNow that you're in the login screen of lightdm, just select Qtile from wm selector, then login with your root password! viola ✨
- Enjoy!
