How I set up my PinePhone

Mobian-PinePhone-setup

How I set up my PinePhone (amended).

Basics

sudo apt install openssh-server

ip addr # to get ip address

ssh mobian@YOURPINEPHONEIP # it's easier to ssh in for the set up

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

apt install linux-image-5.11-sunxi64 # upgrade to 5.11

sudo reboot

Utils

sudo apt -y install git pandoc xlsx2csv ghostscript poppler-utils mosh zathura feh ncdu exfat-fuse exfat-utils htop curl

Latex

Download latest texlive:

wget "http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz"

tar -xzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz

cd install-tl-20210321/

sudo ./install-tl

press I

(Time used for installing the packages: 132:10)

vim ~/.bashrc

Add to file:

MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/doc/man

INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/doc/info

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/aarch64-linux

export PATH

exit then:

source ~/.bashrc

R

Required for packages

sudo apt -y install libxml2-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgdal-dev libgit2-dev

libssl-dev # for openssl for R

libcurl4-openssl-dev # for curl for R

libgdal-dev # for rgdal for R

libgit2-dev # for devtools in R

Install (This will take a very long time)

sudo apt -y install r-base

sudo R

Then from within R:

parallel::detectCores() # 4 cores options(Ncpus = 4) # this is probably aggressive but we won't be doing anything else whilst we install packages

install.packages(c("ggplot2","tidyverse","knitr","ggthemes","scales","ggmap","plotly","ggfortify","leaflet","leaflet.extras","rgdal","forecast","treemapify","dbscan","survival","googleVis","rmarkdown","flexdashboard","highcharter","devtools","maptools","treemap","networkD3","visNetwork","DiagrammeR","DT","ggcorrplot", "Hmisc", "anomalize", "fpp2", "h2o", "sweep", "timetk", "xgboost","survminer","ggwordcloud","this.path","mapproj"), repo = 'https://mac.R-project.org')

Left this overnight but there were many failed installs...

So let's try installing the remaining packages that didn't work individually:

install.packages("ggplot2") # works

install.packages("tidyverse") # works

install.packages("ggthemes") # works

install.packages("ggmap") # works

install.packages("plotly") # works

install.packages("ggfortify") # works

install.packages("leaflet") # works

install.packages("leaflet.extras") # works

install.packages("forecast") # works

install.packages("treemapify") # works

install.packages("rmarkdown") # works

install.packages("flexdashboard") # fails probably ‘httpuv’, ‘shiny’, ‘flexdashboard’

install.packages("highcharter") # works

install.packages("devtools") # works

install.packages("rgeos") # works - required for maptools

install.packages("treemap") # fails probably ‘httpuv’, ‘shiny’, ‘treemap’

install.packages("networkD3") # works

install.packages("visNetwork") # works

install.packages("DiagrammeR") # works

install.packages("ggcorrplot") # works

install.packages("Hmisc") # works

install.packages("anomalize") # works

install.packages("fpp2") # works

install.packages("survminer") # works

install.packages("ggwordcloud") # works

DT also installed as part of this.

Trying to sort out the couple of fails which relate to httpuv and shiny

ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’ for modifying Try removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-httpuv’

So

sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-httpuv

and then in R

options(Ncpus = 4)

install.packages("httpuv") # works but takes a long time

install.packages("shiny") # works

install.packages("flexdashboard") # works

install.packages("treemap") #works

Finally out of R let's create an .Rprofile file to set the number of CPUs:

vim ~/.Rprofile

and add to it:

options(Ncpus = 3)

Python stuff

sudo apt -y install python3-pip python3-pandas

pip3 install boto3

Set up Git and SSH keys

git config --global user.name "John Doe"

git config --global user.email [e-mail]

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[e-mail]"

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Add to git settings in web git service.

Add some aliases to short cut commands, e.g.:

vim ~/.bashrc

and add:

alias work='ssh YOURUSERNAME@SERVERIPADDRESS'

(note doesn't work if add to bash_profile but ~/.bash_aliases is an alternative)

source ~/.bashrc

Add public key to any servers you need to access:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub YOURUSERNAMEE@SERVERIPADDRESS

Chromium

Obviously optional. See https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=12497&page=2

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak search Chromium

flatpak install org.chromium.Chromium

Then:

scale-to-fit Chromium on

Then head to the webstore and install the Mobile View extension.

Tweaks

https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=themes

Prevent Sleep in an SSH session

vim ~/.bashrc

if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then : $(gnome-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend \ --reason "SSH connection is active" \ --inhibit-only) & fi

Prefer dark themes

vim ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

and add this to file:

[Settings] gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true

Change icons

Icons that work well on the phone:

• Tela-circle
• Numix-Circle
• Cupertino-BigSur-iCons

Get icon names from /usr/share/icons/

or from ~/.local/share/icons

Change with for example: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Tela-circle'

Vim

Copy .vimrc from git and then install VimPlug:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Enter Vim and install with :PlugInstall

Flatpak software

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo # add repo

e.g. Fragments:

flatpak install flathub de.haeckerfelix.Fragments
