Personal dotfiles and configuration management for Ubuntu Mate 24.04.

Install required packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install afl++ bat bear btop cloc exa emacs git htop hunspell hunspell-en-us hunspell-fr hunspell-fr-classical hyperfine icdiff ncdu parallel ripgrep silversearcher-ag ssh tree xclip xmonad zsh

Consider installing these additional tools:

• broot - Interactive directory tree
• tokei - Code statistics tool

Clone and deploy the configuration:

git clone https://github.com/fablhx/dotfiles.git "${HOME}/config"
cd "${HOME}/config"
make clean
make build

The build process will automatically:

• Copy configuration files to _build/ directory
• Create symlinks in your home directory
• Compile Emacs and XMonad configurations
• Set up git repository in _build/
• Configure gsettings for XMonad

If XMonad compilation fails during build:

cd "${HOME}/config/_build/xmonad"
xmonad --recompile

Configure MATE to use XMonad:

gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager xmonad
gsettings set org.mate.session required-components-list "['windowmanager', 'panel']"
gsettings set org.mate.mate-menu hot-key ''
gsettings set com.solus-project.brisk-menu hot-key ''

Install ShellCheck for shell script linting:

sudo apt install cabal-install
cabal update
mkdir -p "${HOME}/work/git"
pushd "${HOME}/work/git"
git clone https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck.git
pushd shellcheck
cabal install
popd
popd

Install LaTeX packages for document processing:

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra

After installation, use these make targets:

• make build - Build and install configuration files
• make clean - Remove installed configuration files
• make status - Show current configuration status

• Editor: Emacs with extensive customization
