Notes to the future me

NOTE: if an existing file already exists, stow will not overwrite it.

git clone https://github.com/zskendall/dotfiles
~/dotfiles/install.sh
cd ~/dotfiles && stow dunst i3 media polybar rofi tmux vim xsession && cd ~
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
sed "s~%music_dir%~<music_dir_here>~" ~/.config/mpd/template > ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf
sed "s~%music_dir%~<music_dir_here>~" ~/.ncmpcpp/template > ~/.ncmpcpp/config
./.xprofile

Since I've never clean installed after creating, might need to install git and/or chmod u+x the script.

Google Chrome as a browser takes a bit of tinkering to get working. Following instructions at wikihow.com/Install-Google-Chrome-Using-Terminal-on-Linux:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
