Stump is a powerful tiling window manager designed for power users. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Stump on your Arch Linux system.
Before we can install Stump, we need to install some required dependencies that are necessary for its operation. These dependencies can be installed using the following command:
sudo pacman -S xcb-util xcb-util-wm xcb-util-keysyms
Next, we need to clone the Stump repository to our local system. To do this, run the following command:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/StumpWM/stumpwm.git
This command will create a new directory called "stumpwm" on your system.
Once the repository has been cloned, we can build and install Stump by running the following commands:
cd stumpwm
make && sudo make install
This will build and install Stump on your system. Once the installation is complete, you can launch Stump by running the following command:
stumpwm
By default, Stump will launch with a basic configuration. To customize its settings, create a configuration file called ".stumpwmrc" in your home directory:
touch ~/.stumpwmrc
You can then use this file to configure Stump according to your preferences.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Stump on your Arch Linux system. With its powerful tiling features and endless customization options, Stump is a great choice for power users who are looking for a highly configurable window manager.
