Add instructions for default scripts configuration #458

Open pascal-mueller opened 2 years ago

pascal-mueller commented 2 years ago

Hello,

in the Getting Started sections it tells you to clone the repo to get the scripts. Onc that is done the user has to also make the config point to the script dir. This step is not described in the configuration. Furthermore the default path structure is wrong, I think?

At the moment it says in line 27:

command=$SCRIPT_DIR/$BLOCK_NAME

while it should be

command=$SCRIPT_DIR/$BLOCK_NAME/$BLOCK_NAME

I'm on arch and installed it from the normal repo. E.g. my current setting is like this:

command=/home/pascal/.config/i3blocks/$BLOCK_NAME/$BLOCK_NAME

whereas the scripts were installed in /home/pascal/.config/i3blocks.
