make sure you have dependencies installed: skip those that you already have.

1st step. (i3 + picom)

sudo pacman -S i3

when asked to choose for selection, select all (i3wm, i3blocks, ...)

sudo pacman -S picom

2nd step. (basic apps + fonts)

fonts:

sudo pacman -S ttf-ubuntu-font-family

sudo pacman -S ttf-droid

sudo pacman -S ttf-font-awesome

sudo pacman -S flameshot

sudo pacman -S ibus

sudo pacman -S rofi

sudo pacman -S pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack alsa-utils playerctl

if you dont want to use some of these apps, you need to remove its start command manually from i3 config after step 3.

cd mist

sudo chmod +x install.sh

./install.sh
