<p>The LARBS are a series of shell scripts that will automatically install a fully-featured Arch Linux i3-gaps Desktop Environment, providing a perfect composite of both functionality and customizability.</p>
<p><b>Warning!</b> Until I put up a video on YouTube on these scripts, they are in still actively in development and the usage may be haphazard or non-functional at times. I'm literally testing these on new installs several times a day, making several dozen little tweaks every 24 hours. Only run these on new systems where there is no threat of data loss (although I don't see how data loss could happen given what the scripts do, just exercise caution until the official release). If you do run into errors, email me (<ahref="mailto:luke@lukesmith.xyz">luke@lukesmith.xyz</a>) and I might give you some credit.</p>
<p>For the official announcement of release, follow me on <ahref="https://youtube.com/lukesmithxyz">YouTube</a>, by <ahref="http://lukesmith.xyz/rss.xml">RSS</a> or on Twitter (<ahref="https://twitter.com/lukesfiat">@lukesfiat</a>).</p>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<p>In any install of Arch Linux, simply log in as the root user and run the following in the terminal:</p>
<code>
curl -O larbs.xyz/larbs.sh</br>
./larbs.sh
</code>
<p>This will begin a prompt and the installation after some setup. Installation time can vary depending on internet connection. Don't be worried if it takes even a little more than an hour: it's setting <em>everything</em> up.</p>
<p>You should be able to run LARBS on an already-configured system, and also other distributions that use Arch repositories, but I recommend running LARBS only on fresh Arch installations (I've never tried it myself on other distros, but it should work on a distro with pacman and access to the Arch repositories). </p>
<h3>Learning the system is fun and easy!</h3>
<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>By pressing Super+F1 while in the system itself at any time. (Also <atarget="_blank"href="https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/voidrice/blob/master/.config/i3/i3_guide.md">here</a>.)</li>
<li>The many illustrative videos on <atarget="_blank"href="https://youtube.com/lukesmithxyz">my YouTube channel</a>.</li>
<li>By just installing it and diving in!</li>
</ul>
