Warning

• This guide is for Archlinux and it doesn't provide any installer. Some steps might not be completed.

• The bin and config folders are not preceded by a dot, as they should be. However, since GitHub does not support dragging files with a dot prefix (hidden files), they must be added manually.

• For more information, please refer to the Wayfire wiki Wayfire wiki
