Setup

General instructions for using these dotfiles

Influenced heavily by https://github.com/empeee/dotfiles

Easy Setup

First, clone the dotfiles into your home directory under ~/Projects/ like so:

$ mkdir ~/Projects
$ cd ~/Projects
$ git clone https://github.com/fronzbot/dotfiles.git

Run the setup.sh script to set up vim and create symlinks. To use the solarized color scheme, see the Konsole section below.

$ cd dotfiles
$ bash setup.sh

For MacOS, use the "mac" argument to the setup script:

% bash setup.sh mac

Manual Setup

Clone the repo with the steps above, but this time don't run setup.sh. Instead, we'll just generate teh symlinks and you can manually install Vundle.vim and stuff like that.

$ cd ~/Projects/dotfiles
$ bash gen_symlinks.sh

Vim

First, make sure you can create the ~/.vim/tmp directory for history and swap files. After that, install Vundle to handle plugins:

$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Then start vim. Some errors may pop up since the plugins haven't installed, but inside vim run :PluginInstall to pull and install plugins. Quit vim and restart, and everything should be good to go.

Konsole

Taken from https://github.com/phiggins/konsole-colors-solarized

To get the solarized theme into Konsole (using KDE) do the following:

1. Copy the colorschme file to ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole
2. Open Konsole, select Settings > Manage Profiles > Edit Profile > Appearance, and then select theme.
3. Hit OK, then close, and the theme should have taken effect.
