linux_workstation_build

Some convenience scripts to setup a workstation build for use in VFX, Animation and Photography for Linux desktops using DWM Window Manager or Mate Desktop.

Debian, Rocky and Arch Linux, so far tested.

On Debian, you might need to add SUDO to your groups. You will first need to have *sudo privilegius:

su	

Enter your password, then install sudo, git and vim, which we will use later on.

apt install sudo git vim

Now add your username to sudo.

sudo usermod -aG sudo username

Once you log out or reboot.

You can check it is added by running, and you should see sudo.

groups username	

For Arch and Rocky, you might want to install git and vim.

Rocky:

sudo dnf install git vim

Arch:

sudo pacman -S git vim

mkdir $HOME/git
cd $HOME/git
git clone https://github.com/curadotd/linux_workstation_build.git
cd linux_workstation_build
./first_install

Follow the instrunctions, then reboot, once rebooted you can continue.

cd $HOME/git/linux_workstation_build
./base_system

Follow the instructions again and by the end, you should be able to reboot, and login to DWM,

You can also run individual scripts by running, for example.

cd $HOME/git/linux_workstation_build
./install_fonts
