DotFiles
- zsh

first open powershell as admin and run:

then reboot. yes stop crying. just do it.
After rebooting, run:
iwr "https://get.comtrya.dev/ps" -UseBasicParsing | iex

Intermediary Setup
Above would be useful if comtrya was perfect. However you may instead need to install individual parts:
$env:PATH+=";$env:USERPROFILE\.comtrya"
cd C:\Users\zeno.jiricek\AppData\Local\comtrya\manifests\git\githubcomairtonixdotfiles
comtrya apply -m manifest.dot.notated.path.instead.of.slash.notated.paths
Usage
This is mostly a reminder for myself.
