Prerequisites

Mac Os X

See fresh install below.

Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Arch

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlax/dotfiles/master/install/provision.sh -o ./provision.sh
chmod a+x provision.sh

./provision.sh
# full install:
./provision.sh --full

Use this script to fully automate a new machine setup (e.g. with Vagrant):

install/provision.sh

Otherwise, see Installation section below.

Installation

DOTFILES="$HOME/.dotfiles"
git clone https://github.com/charlax/dotfiles.git $DOTFILES
# or
git clone [email protected]:charlax/dotfiles.git $DOTFILES

# If you want only dotfiles
python3 $DOTFILES/install.py

# On a fresh install
python3 $DOTFILES/install.py --with-all

To install all the required software, run:

~/.dotfiles/install/install-apps-all.sh

Post-install checklist on a fresh installation - Mac Os X

Initialization

  1. Install any OS upgrade
  2. Start with installing XCode from the App Store - it takes quite a long time. Open it and accept the T&C.
  3. Install Homebrew (see above)
  4. Run the steps below in the terminal:
# Make sure the account name is correct:
whoami
# If it needs to be changed, create a new temporary admin. Follow this guide:
# https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201548

# Install dependencies
brew install git python3

# Create an SSH key and add it to Github
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Then add it to Github

# Verify you can connect to github:
ssh -T [email protected]

# Install local git settings
cp $DOTFILES/git/gitconfig.local.template $DOTFILES/git/.gitconfig.local

Once this is done, follow the instruction above (Installation).
