#+TITLE: Install
|
||||
|
||||
* Introduction
|
||||
Each heading is a step in the install process.
|
||||
Run each headings source code snippets as you progress through them.
|
||||
Any snippets that have the tag =:optional:= can be avoided, and are likely extra functionality that you can use later on.
|
||||
* Generate user directories
|
||||
:PROPERTIES:
|
||||
:header-args: :session *install-sh* :results none :tangle Install.sh
|
||||
:END:
|
||||
This makes some useful directories that are used by the system and/or by me.
|
||||
I split these into two sections so at minimum you can install the system folders and generate the user folders if you wish.
|
||||
** System folders
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
mkdir ~/.local;
|
||||
mkdir ~/.local/src;
|
||||
mkdir ~/.local/bin;
|
||||
mkdir ~/.config;
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
** User folders :optional:
|
||||
Firstly the essentials for a good user experience™
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
mkdir ~/Downloads ~/Pictures ~/Music;
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then generate the other stuff that I use (mostly).
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
mkdir ~/Text;
|
||||
mkdir ~/School;
|
||||
mkdir ~/Code;
|
||||
mkdir ~/Code/Learning;
|
||||
mkdir ~/Code/Projects;
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
* Clone templates :optional:
|
||||
:PROPERTIES:
|
||||
:header-args: :session *install-sh* :results none :tangle Install.sh
|
||||
:END:
|
||||
These are templates coded by me (MIT licensed) which are basically boilerplate helpers for differing languages.
|
||||
They allow me to quickly start coding up projects as they remove the hassle of setting the build system and source directories up manually.
|
||||
They're cloned into =~/Code/Templates= not only so you can hack on them as you wish but also so you can generate templates even when offline just by copying the template you want and removing/replacing the '.git' directory in it.
|
||||
|
||||
Firstly you need the folders for the templates to be stored in, so =mkdir= them.
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
mkdir ~/Code;
|
||||
mkdir ~/Code/Templates;
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then clone the templates into the folder.
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
declare -a templates=("CTemplate" "CPPTemplate" "PythonTemplate"
|
||||
"NodeTemplate" "ArduinoTemplate");
|
||||
for template in ${templates[@]}; do
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/odavep/$template ~/Code/Templates/$template;
|
||||
done
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
* Managing modules
|
||||
** What is stow?
|
||||
GNU/Stow is a utility for symlinking folders (named as 'modules') to the home directory.
|
||||
** How does stow work (roughly)?
|
||||
Each module must be structure as if that module directory were to be mapped directly on to the home directory.
|
||||
For example, the vim module which has only a vimrc file would be structured "~/Dotfiles/Vim/.vimrc" so that when it is stowed, the vimrc goes directly to "~/.vimrc"
|
||||
This also means that if any files are already present that conflict with the module files, the stow will not work.
|
||||
So make sure to clean up beforehand.
|
||||
** Activating a module
|
||||
Activating a module is as simple as just entering the dotfiles directory and entering 'stow <Module name>'.
|
||||
This will symlink the contents of the internal directory to the home directory.
|
||||
** Deleting a module
|
||||
Deleting a module is a call to stow with the -d argument (i.e. 'stow -D <module name>').
|
||||
This will delete the symlinks to all the files in the module, leaving the home directory clean of them.
|
||||
** Activate all modules :optional:
|
||||
Basically get all folders excluding the '.git' and '.' folder, then just stow them.
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
folders=`find . -maxdepth 1 -type 'd' -not -name '.git' -not -name '.'`;
|
||||
|
||||
# Symlink profiles
|
||||
for pkg in $folders; do
|
||||
echo "Stowing " $pkg;
|
||||
stow $pkg
|
||||
done
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
* Emacs support :optional:
|
||||
:PROPERTIES:
|
||||
:header-args: :session *install-el* :results none :tangle Install.el
|
||||
:END:
|
||||
** Get all modules in Dotfiles
|
||||
The main function used to retrieve all the stowable modules in the Dotfiles directory.
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
|
||||
(defun +dotfiles-install/get-modules ()
|
||||
"Get all modules in dotfiles directory"
|
||||
(interactive)
|

|
||||
"\n"))))
|
||||
(+dotfiles-install/get-modules)
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
** Install module
|
||||
Little elisp snippet to stow a specific module in the Dotfiles folder using completing-read.

** Delete module

|
||||
* Introduction
|
||||
My Dotfiles repository with configuration files for most of the
|
||||
applications I use on a daily basis.
|
||||
* What do I use exactly?
|
||||
- *[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]]* My premier editor, big bulky and beautiful
|
||||
- *[[https://www.zsh.org/][ZSH]]* Shell program (objectively better than bash don't @ me)
|
||||
- *[[https://st.suckless.org][Suckless terminal]]* Best terminal in the game: small, configurable and powerful
|
||||
- *[[https://dwm.suckless.org][DWM]]* Yes I fell for the meme, but it's a great window manager and I
|
||||
don't really need a lot of features
|
||||
- *[[https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu][dmenu]]* Good launcher, fast and not gaudy
|
||||
- *[[https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers][Wallpaper Collection]]* Fork of DistroTubes collection, with a few of
|
||||
my own. Mostly his though lol.
|
||||
* Install
|
||||
Clone this into the =~/Dotfiles= directory, then use Install.org to install the
|
||||
component(s) you want.
|
||||
* Dependencies
|
||||
|-----------------------+----------------+------------|
|
||||
| Dependency | Version | Link |
|
||||
|-----------------------+----------------+------------|
|
||||
| Vim | 8 | [[https://www.vim.org/download.php][Vim]] |
|
||||
| Emacs | 26.2+ | [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html][Emacs]] |
|
||||
| Python | 3.6.8 and 2.7+ | [[https://www.python.org/downloads/][Python]] |
|
||||
|-----------------------+----------------+------------|
|
||||
Clone this into the =~/Dotfiles= directory. Install Emacs. Win.
|
||||
|
||||
Also a list of other stuff that I find cool:
|
||||
- clangd (C/C++ server)
|
||||
- exctags
|
||||
- pfetch
|
||||
- tmuxinator
|
||||
* Project usage
|
||||
Generate a template using emacs or the shell, run the startup and reset/delete
|
||||
the .git folder. Then just start hacking at the code!
|
||||
** Installing Emacs
|
||||
I like a specific set of flags on my Emacs install. Prepackaged
|
||||
installs just won't cut it. Hence we're going to clone =emacs-27=
|
||||
from GNU then compile it. Just run the following part:
|
||||
|
||||
Use Emacs' compilation system if running no stdin programs or simple
|
||||
servers, otherwise use terminals (+ tmux if not running a tiling
|
||||
window manager) for heavy servers because Emacs *will* slow down with
|
||||
a heavy server running or eshell for this stdin based programs.

||||
