I hope you enjoyed this brief guide on installing Arch Linux with i3wm, and as always if you have questions, comments or suggestions feel free to post them here. Of course, this and much more info can be found at i3wm’s website. Now, you can launch terminator by pressing ‘Mod’ + ‘Enter’, and dmenu with ‘Mod’ + ‘d’. You will then be given the choice of the all-important ‘Mod’ key, which will be either ‘Alt’ or ‘Super’. The first time i3 runs, it will ask you if you want to generate a config file. Now reboot just in case, and after you log in using your username (not root), enter the following: Launch i3wm $ startx

I prefer terminator because of its multiple tab support, but feel free to install whichever one you prefer: $ sudo pacman -S terminator dmenu Two last things we’ll want in our window environment are a terminal emulator, so that we can run commands from within our i3 session, and dmenu, a generic application menu for X. Xorg reads this file when we call startx, and will thus launch i3 for us. Using nano or vi, create the file ~/.xinitrc and place the following in it: ~/.xinitrc Phew! Almost ready to boot into our hard-earned i3 window environment. In order to run startx, which boots up the X session, we’ll need the following package as well: $ sudo pacman -S xorg-xinit Install i3wmĪnd finally, it’s time to install i3 itself, along with a useful status bar displayed at the bottom of the window: $ sudo pacman -S i3-wm i3status For VirtualBox, the vesa driver works fine: $ sudo pacman -S xf86-video-vesa The first thing we need is xorg-server, which provides us with our X11 base: $ sudo pacman -S xorg-server OK, now we’re ready to set up our graphical environment. Switch to your newly created user account by first rebooting and then logging in as your user instead of root: # reboot Install X11 Now your user has sudo capabilities, and so we no longer need to be logged in as the root user. You must also install the sudo package with: # pacman -S sudo If you happen to mess this file up, simply press ‘Esc’ followed by ‘:q!’, which exits without saving changes. Then press ‘Esc’ followed by ‘:x’ to save and exit the file. Look for the following lines: # Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any commandĪnd uncomment the second line above by placing the cursor over the ‘#’ and pressing ‘x’ to delete the character. Next we’ll use the visudo command to allow users in the wheel group to execute any command. Create Your User Account # useradd -m -G wheel,sudo -s /bin/bash username Next we’ll create a normal user account since it’s not a good idea to be root all the time. You can then verify the connection with: # ping So let’s set that up now: # systemctl start dhcpcd This is my fault as I forgot to take care of that in Part 1. Now we will get to the installation of the X11 window system and finally i3! A Couple of Things Before We Install i3wmĪs you may have noticed, there is no internet connection configured in our new Arch install. In Part 1 we installed the base OS and set up fundamental configurations like timezone, locale, and network settings. Welcome to Part 2 of this tutorial on installing the i3 Window Manager (i3wm) on Arch Linux.
