dotfiles

Yet another collection of ZSH, Vim, and tmux configs

1. Set up packages

Debian + Ubuntu (with root)

Update existing packages

sudo apt -yq update && sudo apt -yq upgrade && sudo apt -yq full-upgrade

Install new packages

[[ ! $(command -v curl) ]] && sudo apt -yq install curl
[[ ! $(command -v zsh) ]] && sudo apt -yq install zsh
[[ ! $(command -v git) ]] && sudo apt -yq install git
[[ ! $(command -v vim) ]] && sudo apt -yq install vim
[[ ! $(command -v tmux) ]] && sudo apt -yq install tmux
[[ ! $(command -v rg) ]] && sudo apt -yq install ripgrep
[[ ! $(command -v rsync) ]] && sudo apt -yq install rsync

Clean up

sudo apt -yq autoremove && sudo apt -yq clean

Debian + Ubuntu (without root)

When access to the package management system is restricted (e.g., on a shared development machine), we can optionally compile local copies of our desired packages. This is helpful both when a package does not exist and when an existing package is out of date.

We store locally compiled binaries and their respective assets in $HOME/.local.

For instance, building a local copy of ZSH might look something like:

wget -O zsh.tar.xz https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/files/zsh/5.8/zsh-5.8.tar.xz/download
tar xf zsh.tar.xz && cd zsh-5.8
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
make && make install

The example above is for zsh-5.8; check here for information about the latest ZSH release.

Building a local copy of tmux might look something like:

wget -O tmux.tar.gz https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/download/3.1c/tmux-3.1c.tar.gz
tar xf tmux.tar.gz && cd tmux-3.1c
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
make && make install

The example above is for tmux-3.1c; check here for information about the latest tmux release.

Note: Unless they are already available on the target system, we may also need to compile dependencies, e.g., ncurses must be built before compiling ZSH.

macOS

Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
