Install¶

emergepacmanaptyumdnf

# emerge -a x11-misc/redshift

# pacman -S redshift

# apt install redshift

# yum install redshift

# dnf install redshift

Config¶

E.g. manually configure redshift to be located in Paris:

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/redshift
$ vi ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf
    > [redshift]
    > ; Set the location-provider: 'geoclue2', 'manual'
    > ; type 'redshift -l list' to see possible values.
    > ; The location provider settings are in a different section.
    > location-provider=manual
    >
    > [manual]
    > ; Paris:
    > lat=48.86
    > lon=2.34

Use¶

Invoke redshift help:

$ redshift -h

Get redshift up and running with configured setup (in ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf):

$ redshift

Get redshift up and running with a basic setup:

$ redshift -l LATITUDE:LONGITUDE
