Read me first
After installing, you'll have an xmonad
binary on your system. From there, you'll need to wire xmonad up to your login manager.
Linux
Arch
$ pacman -S xmonad-contrib # for the xmonad core and contrib packages
or else:
$ pacman -S xmonad # for just the xmonad core package
See xmonad on ArchWiki for more info.
Debian
To install:
$ apt-get install xmonad # for just the xmonad binary, without the ability to configure
In addition to that, if you want to write a configuration file, you should get one of these:
$ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev # for all of xmonad core and xmonad-contrib (depends on the following pkg) $ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-dev # for just xmonad core
There are also -doc and -prof suffixes for various packages. I'm not sure what they contain.
Note: The are backports available for debian etch at http://newpeople.debian.org/~jps/etch/.
Fedora
Gentoo
$ emerge xmonad-contrib # the contrib package depends on xmonad so it gets also installed
if you only want to install xmonad without contrib you could use: $ emerge xmonad
There is also an actively maintained haskell overlay with newer versions of many projects, including an ebuild for darcs xmonad/contrib.
Gobo
NixOS
Slackware
Source Mage
Ubuntu
See #Debian.
Note: On Hardy Heron and earlier, the libghc6-x11-dev package was compiled without Xinerama support. This means that if you want multi-monitor support, you have three options:
- upgrade to Intrepid Ibez
- install xmonad (and the Haskell X11 library on which it depends) through one of the #Generic options
- follow the instructions in this blog post to recompile the libghc6-x11-dev yourself (unverified)
BSD
FreeBSD
For only the window manager:
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xmonad # sudo make install distclean
And the contrib package:
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xmonad-contrib # sudo make install distclean
NetBSD
OpenBSD
xmonad is in the ports tree. To install it,
sudo pkg_add xmonad
Mac OS X
Install ghc using MacPorts:
$ port install ghc
And then follow one of the #Generic instructions.
See more at Xmonad/Using xmonad on Apple OSX.
Generic
From tarball
From Hackage
xmonad can be installed from source on any system with an up-to-date Haskell toolchain:
$ cabal install xmonad
