linux-setup

Set of Terminal commands for quick, productive dev setup

THIS IS THE NEW WAY, USING ANSIBLE (WORK IN PROGRESS):

sudo apt install python3-pip  
pip3 install ansible

On Linux, pip might install ansible into ~/.local/bin, which might not be on the $PATH.
Solution:
export PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin
(it will be set permanently in a shell file later)

Clone this repo

Set up Git, if you're starting from scratch:

• git config user.name SirObi
• git config user.email obi.orciuch@gmail.com
• ssh-keygen -t rsa
• ssh-add /home/obi/.ssh/id_rsa (or whatever my username is on a given machine)
• cat /home/obi/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and add that key in GitHub

Note

MacOS installation will look very similar.
Just replace sudo apt with brew.

First, for convenience, clone this repo:
git clone git@github.com:SirObi/linux-setup.git
cd linux-setup

Zsh setup

sudo apt install zsh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | sh; zsh

You might need to go to your Terminal preferences and change default command on
startup to zsh.

Install plugins for Zsh:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

sudo apt install autojump

cp .zshrc ~/.zshrc

Emacs setup

sudo apt install emacs
git clone https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d

I've found plain emacs gets pretty slow with time.
For lightning speed and flow states, you want to start an emacs daemon and then use the
emacsclient command.

Start emacs daemon

Use the following guide to make the Emacs server start up on login:

Linux
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsAsDaemon

Mac
http://www.rockhoppertech.com/blog/emacs-daemon-on-macos/
Alternatively:
https://www.hhyu.org/posts/emacs_clientserver/

Or if you're keen to just try it out and get Emacs running right now: emacs --daemon
(This might take a while the first time around (but much quicker after that))

Use emacsclient command

You can now open the current directory with emacs by executing the emacsclient . command.

It's a bit of a mouthful (fingerful?) to type - I prefer to alias emacsclient to e:
echo -e 'alias e="emacsclient -a -c"' >> ~/.zshrc (or whatever your shell config file is, e.g. .bashrc)

Now you can open your files with Emacs like so:
e somefile

And the current directory like so:
e .

Nice.
