First, log in to your Linux machine as a non root user. When installing the operating system, your user is likely to be named something other than travis.

You will have just finished installing Arch if you are following along with the article series. We were able to enable time sync.

We did it on the live image. Since we're installing the actual system, you'll probably have to re-enable it.

Check the setting.

Go ahead and enable NTP if the system clock shows no.

The package manager can be used to install all sorts of packages.

It's a good idea to update the packages on your system before installing a new one.

Everything you need to run xmonad is installed.

Fira Mono is a fonts installed by the command above. If you prefer, you can use another monospace fonts that I like, but you can also search for it.

A new file is called /.

Every time you start the X server, the commands you enter in this file will run. Every time you start the process for handling graphics displays.

is just a name for your directory.

A lot of the files you'll be working with will begin with a dot.

This tells Linux that the file should be hidden. Make sure you pay attention to the dots. It is important to get right when entering commands and editing files.

The file has a single line in it. This will make sure that xmonad starts when you start X server.

A new directory for configuration is needed.

This is a good example configuration file.

X server will start xmonad.

You won't see much unless you use a black screen.

This is what the default installation is.

You can open the terminal with the following commands.

You can open a second, third, and fourth terminal to see the tiling windows in action.

A single window has a full screen.

When you open a second window, it goes into the "stack" on the right side.

If you keep opening the windows, they will get pushed into the stack.

xmonad also has work spaces. These are similar to virtual desktops. You are on workspace 1.

You can switch to any of them by pressing Alt + 1, Alt + 2 and so on.

How would you use it? You may want a certain group of windows for editing code open on workspace 1 and then a fullscreen web browser on workspace 2. You can change workspace to workspace at any time with the key binding.

If you have more than one terminal open, close them all with Shift + c.

You can learn and use a lot of keyboard binding. You will be able to manage your windows. You will be able to open, close, and navigate around your windows with lightning speed once you learn these.

The most common keyboard binding I use on a daily basis is listed here.

The manual page has all the keyboard bindings.

I like to have gaps between my windows. It looks better to me. If you want gaps between your windows, you can use xmonad.

You can change your xmonad configuration file.

Next to the other import statements, add the following new line.

You can find the layout section by scrolling down.

The line that reads myLayout should be added above the other lines.

Everything is set to have a 5 pixel gap around it, but you can adjust to your liking.

We need to apply mySpacing to the layout. The current line should be changed.

To read.

Go ahead and save the file.

If you want to see the gaps in action, open a few windows and restart xmonad.

The black background is boring. A tool called feh can be used to set a custom image.

You have to install feh.

You can find a nice wallpaper online. Make a note of the URL once you've found it.

The person who took the photo is free to use it under the Unsplash License.

Make a directory of things to do.

You can download the picture. The appropriate values for your image should be replaced with sunset.jpg.

You can set it as a wallpaper.

You should be able to see your new wallpaper if you close the windows.

You should be able to see it through the gaps in your windows.

feh also creates an.fehbg file in your home directory which restores the wallpaper when you run it. You can tell xmonad to start running this program.

You can modify your xmonad configuration.

Line import run modules can be added in your imports section.

Find the call to main that looks similar.

Update it to this

You can exit and save it.

When you start xmonad, the wallpaper should appear.

If you quit xmonad and start it again, you can see if this is true.

The red border that appears around the active window is something that I don't like about the default configuration. I like a blue color that is subdued.

The xmonad configuration can be edited at /.xmonad/xmonad.hs again.

The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control.
