machine-setup

Sets up a machine environment from a clean install.

I end up on new machines all the time and need to reinstall the same things over again, copy settings files, etc. This repo is my solution. Everything here is my personal files and preferences, so you may not want to use them (though I think my Vim setup is pretty nice!). That being said, you may still find this repo useful to co-opt for your own purposes or as an example of various things (like a great .vimrc file!).

To run it, you need to get the repository over to the machine, most of which come with git preinstalled:

git clone https://github.com/jeremyephron/machine-setup

Navigate to the repository:

cd machine-setup

Run the setup script:

./setup.sh

Source your bashrc and bash profile (either ~/.profile on Debian/Ubuntu or ~/.bash_profile on MacOS/CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat; this command covers both):

source ~/.bashrc
(test -r ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile) || source ~/.profile

Now, you can delete the repository, and you're good to go:

cd .. && rm -rf machine-setup

Configuring the Setup

This setup script installs a lot of stuff that I may not want all the time. For this reason you can disable specific components or enable only the components you need.

If I wanted to avoid installing LaTeX for instance, I could run:

DISABLE_LATEX=1 ./setup.sh

If I just wanted to do some quick editing, maybe I only need my Vim files and Homebrew set up. So I can run:

ENABLE=1 ENABLE_HOMEBREW=1 ENABLE_VIM=1 ./setup.sh

where ENABLE=1 tells the script to only run components that are explicitly enabled, and ENABLE_VIM=1 enables the Vim component.

Alternatively, you can run the setup in interactive mode, where it will ask you to confirm whether each component should run:

INTERACTIVE=1 ./setup.sh

Repository Overview

Here's an overview of important files or directories:

• setup.sh: the main setup script

• resources: directory containing any files that need to copied

• bash_scripts: directory containing the defined behavior for each of the components

Components

Homebrew

Homebrew is my favorite package manager for Mac or Linux, and is required to install many of the other components.

Vim

Vim is my goto editor, and it will install the latest version with brew. Additionally, it configures a .vimrc file along with a colorscheme and other vim settings files viewable in .

FZF

FZF is a fuzzy file searcher that dramatically enhances your command line experience, and the Vim component includes it as a plugin (separate from this component).

tree

Just your standard tree command to recursively list directories.

Git

I prefer having the latest version of Git installed with brew.

nnn

nnn is a very powerful terminal file manager that helps you get around more efficiently.

LateX

LaTeX is a typesetting system mostly used for academic and scientific work. This component installs the Tex Live distribution on Linux and MacTeX on MacOS.

Python

Installs the latest version of Python with brew. Also installs pyenv, which I use for Python version management.

NodeJS

Installs NodeJS and Yarn for package management.

Java

Installs OpenJDK.

Rust

Installs rustup with brew, and then installs Rust with rustup.

Boost

The Boost C++ libraries are a great extension to the STL.

Python Packages

Installs various Python packages that I like to have installed globally on my system, including:

• setuptools
• twine
• numpy
• scikit-learn
• matplotlib
• pandas
• jupyter
• requests
• pillow
• beautifulsoup4
