Personal configuration files for shell/program environments and emacs

dotfiles

Don’t forget --recurse-submodules when cloning!

The basic steps are:

• If on macOS, install Homebrew.
• Install Ansible.
• Install Ansible roles from Galaxy.
• Install software through the package manager.
• Install GitHub repos and programming languages.
• Deploy dotfiles.
• Set the shell to zsh.

To perform these steps,

bash ./bootstrap_package_installation.bash
# depending on the OS; this step isn't smart yet
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_packages_{arch,debian}.yaml -b -K
# or
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_packages_homebrew.yaml
# then
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_all_system.yaml -b -K
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_all.yaml
ansible-playbook ./ansible/set_shell.yaml -b -K

Nix package manager

Multi-user install:

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

home-manager

First time only:

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.11.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update
export NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels:/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels${NIX_PATH:+:$NIX_PATH}
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

Add to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

Then:

cd ~/dotfiles
home-manager switch --flake .#eric@osmium
