Installation

How to install iNiR on your system

iNiR is designed for Arch Linux. The installer only supports Arch-based distros. If you're on something else, check the manual section below.

Quick Install (Arch)

~code

git clone https://github.com/snowarch/inir.git
cd inir
./setup install

Add -y if you don't want to answer questions:

~code

./setup install -y

When it's done:

~code

niri msg action load-config-file

Log out and back in, or restart Niri.

For when you're not on Arch, or you want more control.

The bare minimum to not crash immediately:

~table

Package	Why
`niri`	The compositor
`quickshell`	The shell runtime (official repos)
`syntax-highlighting`	QML module for code blocks
`kirigami`	KDE QML components
`kdialog`	KDE runtime helper
`plasma-integration`	KDE platform theme plugin
`darkly-bin` (AUR)	Darkly Qt style
`wl-clipboard`	Copy/paste
`cliphist`	Clipboard history
`pipewire` + `wireplumber`	Audio
`grim` + `slurp`	Screenshots
`matugen`	Material You colors from wallpaper

For everything else, check the packages documentation.

~code

git clone https://github.com/snowarch/inir.git ~/.config/quickshell/ii

~code

cp -r dots/.config/* ~/.config/

This gives you Niri config with ii keybindings, matugen templates, GTK settings, and fuzzel config.

Add this to ~/.config/niri/config.kdl:

~code

spawn-at-startup "qs" "-c" "ii"

~code

niri msg action load-config-file

Or log out and back in.

Check the logs:

~code

qs log -c ii

If everything went well, you should see:

If something's broken, the logs will tell you which package is missing.
