This the general setup I use on my Raspberry Pi B+ running Raspbian. In addition to instructions relating to the installation and use of the dotfiles, I've also added quite a bit of extra info on how I setup a Pi from scratch. Obviously, there are many ways to go about this depending on how you plan to use your Pi, but these are general steps that I use commonly and are mainly included here for my own convenience.
The dotfiles themselves have been adapted from my OS X setup. Comments and suggestions welcome. :)
Flash the SD card with the latest Raspbian image.
Boot the Pi from the new card and run through the initial config.
Connect to the local wifi network either from the command line or via the GUI.
Test your connection.
ping -c 5 8.8.8.8
Update packages.
sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Install other packages.
sudo apt-get install -y curl zsh vim tree nmap tmux git figlet fonts-inconsolata
Verify that zsh is installed.
which zsh
#=> /usr/bin/zsh
Change your shell to zsh.
chsh -s $(which zsh)
Install oh-my-zsh.
curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh | sh
Close and reopen terminal to complete oh-my-zsh install.
NOTE: The rest of the setup process assumes you are using zsh and not bash.
Clone this repo.
git clone https://github.com/mhazley/dotfiles-raspbian.git ~/.dotfiles
Run setup.sh to complete the setup.
~/.dotfiles/setup.sh
Remap the caps lock key to ctrl.
# Open the file /etc/default/keyboard
sudo vim /etc/default/keyboard
# Edit the XKBOPTIONS entry
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,ctrl:nocaps"
# After saving and closing the file, run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
# Restart the Pi
In case you're not me, you'll want to add your own name and email to ~/.dotfiles/gitconfig.
