polybar-git does not create a config dir #26

Closed tokamak-git closed 5 years ago

tokamak-git commented 6 years ago

after installing polybar-git from the arch user repository I see that it has created an executable file ~/.config/polybar there is no folder at that location and thus im unable to copy the scripts as required by the readme. Any suggestions regarding this?

Well generally, you either read the first paragraph of the Polybar documentation or you just touch ~/.config/polybar/config and then run the script. I was thinking if I should force-create the config via the script (check if it's there and if not I create it no matter what) but I need to kinda test it for a while.

I did

install -Dm644 /usr/share/doc/polybar/config $HOME/.config/polybar/config followed by polybar example

to set a good base config

tokamak-git commented 6 years ago

command I run:

install -Dm644 /usr/share/doc/polybar/config $HOME/.config/polybar/config

the error message:

install: failed to access '/home/coderiot/.config/polybar/config': Not a directory

Im running Arch Linux

Just create it man.

mkdir ~/.config/polybar/config

I did, got it to work. Going through the examples now.

polybar can be found on official pacman repo. You don't need to use AUR aymore.

That's something I didn't even know to be honest. I will consider pulling it from there in that case. Thanks for the info :)

I am closing this one once there is no follow up. Generally if you follow the instructions for the official Polybar page then no problems should exist: https://github.com/jaagr/polybar
