- (For Apple Silicon users) If you are using a Mac with Apple Silicon you will have to run this : sudo nvram boot-args=-arm64e_preview_abi
- Install SKHD to set Yabai and system keybinds.
You have 2 options :
Works better out of the box without too much config or hassle.
- Install Uebersicht this launcher will be helpful to setup the top bar.
- Install Simple-Bar, then you can configure it by clicking on it then CMD + ,
- Another potential bar is Sketchy Bar.
I prefer it, configuration is a yaml file saved in ~/.config and also it better follows the behaviours of other twm i use
- Install following this
- Install Janky-Border this will help to highlight focused windows.
- Goo to System Prefs > Mission Control,
- Uncheck - Automatically rearrange
- Check - Displays have separate spaces
The dotfiles specific to Mac are mostly yabai config and skhd config and sketchy bar config ones, i reproduce with them what i have on i3wm and glazewm.
- Setup dotfiles, in your terminal launch :
sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayanramoul/RayTerm/master/install.sh -O -)"The script will clone this repository and install ansible then prompt you to choose which part of the install you want to run.
If you only want to check the dotfiles you can get them at this link : Dotfiles and for example run Stow to symlink your config with the repositories ones :
git clone https://github.com/rayanramoul/RayTerm/
cd RayTerm
stow -t $HOME -R dotfiles- Now reload yabai and skbhd services
yabai --restart-service
skhd --restart-service- Keeps Computer not sleepy : https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12
