<p>LARBS is an efficient shell script that will install a fully-featured tiling window manager-based system on any Arch Linux-based system, without any of the routine of manual post-install processes and configuration.</p>
<p>By default, LARBS installs and deploys <atarget="_blank"href="https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/voidrice">my own personal dotfiles</a> which people may know from <atarget="_blank"href="https://youtube.com/c/lukesmithxyz">my videos on YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>
But LARBS can also be forked <atarget="_blank"href="https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/larbs">on Github</a> or given command line options to customize it for your own needs: you can have it deploy your own dotfiles and install all prerequisite programs, as LARBS only needs to read a single list of programs, and the script itself is designed to be easily rearranged.
</p>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>On any (preferrably fresh) install of an Arch Linux-based distribution, just run the following as the root user:</p>
<p>LARBS will then guide you through installation, which is typically relatively snappy. On my very slow internet, it takes around 10 minutes.</p>
<h2>What does LARBS install?</h2>
<p>You can check out the programs list that LARBS parses for installation <atarget="_blank"href="https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/LARBS/blob/master/progs.csv">right here!</a> It also gives a brief explanation of why the program is included.</p>
<p>Note that making your own fork of LARBS is as easy as using your own dotfiles, making a programs file like the one above, and making any other direct changes to the script you want.</p>
<h2>Learning the system is fun and easy!</h2>
<p>You can figure out about the system in a lot of different ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>The documentation on the <ahref="https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/voidrice">Github</a> page.</li>
<li>The many illustrative videos on <atarget="_blank"href="https://youtube.com/lukesmithxyz">my YouTube channel</a>, some of which are easily watchable in LARBS by pressing <code>super+shift+e</code>.</li>
<li>By just installing it and diving in!</li>
</ul>
