This page covers the initial setup for installing and configuring `dwm` as a desktop environment on OpenBSD. Everything posted here relies on my personal "Open Suck" installer: [Open Suck](https://git.btxx.org/open-suck/about/)
## What You Get
The Open Suck installer gives you the absolute barebones desktop experience:
- `dwm` for window management
- `qutebrowser` as your core web browser
- `aerc` for your terminal-based mail client
- `slock` for screen locking
- `scrot`/`slop` for simple screenshot utilities
- `dunst` for notifications
## Required Packages
Before we begin setting things up, you will need to install `git`, `vim`, `bash`:
pkg_add git vim bash
## Cloning the Project
Clone the main installer project and navigate instead the directory:
git clone https://git.btxx.org/open-suck
cd open-suck
## Installing
1) Install dependencies by running `./install-dependencies.sh`. The script will simply read required packages from `dependencies.txt` and run `pkg_add`.
2) Compile and install suckless software by running the `./install.sh`
## TL;DR
# Install OpenBSD packages
doas sh ./install-dependencies.sh
# Install suckless tools
doas sh ./install.sh
# Apply .xinitrc
cp .xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
Reboot the machine. Log in as your main user. Run:
startx
That's it! You now have a fully functional desktop environment built on top of `dwm`.
