How to Install Hadmean on Void Linux

Hadmean is a desktop environment designed for minimalism and low resource usage. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Hadmean on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running instance of Void Linux
• Sudo access or root privileges.

Step 1: Update the system

Make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Suv

This command will update the package list and upgrade any existing packages on your system.

Step 2: Add the Hadmean repository

To install Hadmean, you need to add the Hadmean repository to your package manager. To do this, create a new file /etc/xbps.d/hadmean.conf using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/xbps.d/hadmean.conf

Then add the following lines to the file:

repository=https://hadmean.com/repos/voidlinux/current

Save the file and exit the text editor.

Step 3: Install Hadmean

Now you can install Hadmean by running the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S hadmean-desktop

This will install the Hadmean desktop environment along with all the necessary dependencies.

Step 4: Configure the display manager

Hadmean does not come with a display manager, so you need to install one separately. For example, you can install the LightDM display manager by running the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S lightdm

Once LightDM is installed, enable it by running:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/lightdm /var/service/

Then start the LightDM service:

sudo sv up lightdm

Now you can log in to the Hadmean Desktop Environment using LightDM.
