02. Installation & Deployment

Before you installThis changes your desktop configuration and installs packages. Run it as your normal user, never with sudo: it asks for sudo only where a step needs it (listed below).The guided installer shows its plan first. Files it would replace are kept unless you approve. Everything it copies, clones or appends to in your home folder is backed up and verified first, and --rollback restores it. Packages, sudo changes and the other commands listed under Impact are not undone.

IntegrityEach release from main builds the installers in GitHub Actions and signs them with a GitHub build attestation. Verify your download against the repository, not this website (Option B, step 2). If it does not verify, don't run it.
ImpactPackages: python-fabric-git (some from the Arch AUR)
RecoveryGuided: backups in ~/.local/state/0xtsoa/backups/, undo with bash install.sh --rollback.Manual: the steps below only write in the download folder or run listed commands.
Option A: manual installAdvanced
Read the source at the reviewed commit, back up, then run each step yourself.
$git clone https://github.com/Fabric-Development/fabric ~/0xtsoa-review/fabric-development-fabric# 1. clone to a review folder
$git -C ~/0xtsoa-review/fabric-development-fabric checkout --detach 285439dfcb8cd9ab07b83fb5fa48c34489d6ba03# 2. the reviewed commit
Then the steps. Package commands are written for Arch; on other distros use your package manager.

$curl -fsSLo install.sh 'https://www.0xtsoa.dev/configs/fabric-development/fabric/install.sh'# 1. download
$gh attestation verify install.sh --repo nyharena25/0xTsoa --signer-workflow nyharena25/0xTsoa/.github/workflows/attest-installers.yml# 2. verify (GitHub CLI 2.49+, signed in)
$less install.sh# 3. read it
$bash install.sh --dry-run# 4. preview: changes nothing
$bash install.sh# 5. install (asks first)

What's Fabric?

Fabric is a Desktop Widgets System that you can customize using Python. It offers a variety of features to make the often tedious process of creating widgets much easier and more enjoyable!

Our goal is to provide a high-level, signal-based workflow—no polling or bash scripting required for even the most basic tasks.

Key Features

  1. Simple yet Powerful
  2. Supports both X11 and Wayland
  3. Access to all other Python modules
  4. Excellent Developer Experience (DevEX) and typing support
  5. Low resource usage
    • Built-in Python code replaces the need for resource-heavy shell scripts
