Mac OSX

Requirements

• iTerm2 with font: Meslo LG M DZ Regular for Powerline 12pt for both Regular Font and Non-ASCII font (included in this repo)
• Git
• Xcode (For MacVim)

Clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/anddani/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Run included script file:

$ chmod u+x ~/.dotfiles/install_dotfiles
$ ~/.dotfiles/install_dotfiles

NTFS Compatibility

This requires that csrutil is disabled. Disable it in recovery mode (cmd-r on startup):

$ csrutil disable

Arch Linux

Installation

Most of this information is based on the Arch Beginners' Guide.

Connect to the internet and check the system clock:

Start the dhcpcd daemon using systemctl:

# systemctl start dhcpcd.service

Check if you have internet access:

# ping -c 3 google.com

Check that EFI variables are loaded and that /sys/firmware/efi exists:

# efivar -l

Check the system clock with:

# timedatectl set-ntp true
# timedatectl status

Partition the drive(s):

List out the devices using:

# lsblk

Note the device name given by the output by lsblk. Partition the chosen disk using the gdisk tool (X is the letter corresponding the the chosen device):

# gdisk /dev/sdX

Delete all the partitions currently on the drive.

WITHOUT SWAP:

Type	Diskname	Size	Filesystem
/boot	/dev/sdX1	512M	EFI (EF00)
/	/dev/sdX2	50G	ext4
/home	/dev/sdX3	REST	ext4

WITH SWAP:

Type	Diskname	Size	Filesystem
/boot	/dev/sdX1	512M	EFI (EF00)
swap	/dev/sdX2	16G	swap(8200)
/	/dev/sdX3	30G	ext4
/home	/dev/sdX4	REST	ext4

WITHOUT SWAP: Write the changes and format to ext4:

# mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdX1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX3

Mount the partitions:

# mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sdX3 /mnt/home

WITH SWAP: Write the changes and format to ext4:

# mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdX1
# mkswap /dev/sdX2
# swapon /dev/sdX2
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX3
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX4

Mount the partitions:

# mount /dev/sdX3 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sdX4 /mnt/home

Installing base packages and confuguring language and time zone:

Install base packages (choose to install all packages):

# pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel

Create a file system table:

# genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Change root to the mounted root:

# arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

Edit /etc/locale.gen and un-comment en_US.UTF-8 and en_US ISO-8859-1 and run:

# locale-gen
# echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf

Set local time zone:

# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Stockholm /etc/localtime
# hwclock --systohc --utc

Set a hostname for the computer:

# echo <HOSTNAME> > /etc/hostname

Append the hostname to the localhost entries in /etc/hosts as well.

To make the dhcpcd daemon run at boot:

# systemctl enable dhcpcd@<INTERFACE-ID>.service

Change the root password with:

# passwd

Installation of bootloader

Check that efivarfs is mounted:

# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Install systemd-boot bootloader using the following command:

# bootctl --path=/boot install

Install intel-ucode for intel processors:

# pacman -S intel-ucode

Check that EFI, initramfs, loader and vmlinuz is located in /boot

Edit /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf and enter the following text:

title   Arch Linux
linux   /vmlinuz-linux
initrd  /intel-ucode.img
initrd  /initramfs-linux.img
options root=/dev/sdX2 rw

For laptop (with root at /dev/sdX3), set the options parameters to (for power saving):

options root=/dev/sdX3 rw quiet pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 acpi_backlight=intel_backlight

Exit arch-chroot, unmount the disks and reboot the system:

# exit
# umount -R /mnt
# reboot

Create a new user and setup sudoers file:

Refresh mirrors and install zsh, git and sudo:

# pacman -Syy
# pacman -S zsh git sudo

Create a new user and give it a password with:

# useradd -m -G wheel -s $(which zsh) <USERNAME>
# passwd <USERNAME>

Give group wheel access to run sudo command:

# visudo

Un-comment the %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL line.

Setup

Requirements

• zsh
• git
• sudo (add user in sudoer)

Step 1, Install packages, dotfiles and scripts

Clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/anddani/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Run included script file and change to ssh:

$ chmod u+x ~/.dotfiles/arch_dotfiles
$ ~/.dotfiles/arch_dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ git remote set-url [e-mail]:anddani/dotfiles.git

Step 2, Install yaourt

Add the following to /etc/pacman.conf:

[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

~~[infinality-bundle]~~
~~Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/$arch~~

~~[infinality-bundle-multilib]~~
~~Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/multilib/$arch~~

Sign the outdated key:

# pacman-key -r 962DDE58
# pacman-key --lsign-key 962DDE58

And run:

# pacman -Syy
# pacman -S yaourt

If the key could not be signed, do the following:

pacman -Syu haveged
systemctl start haveged
systemctl enable haveged

rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux

Step 3, Install i3blocks

# yaourt -S i3blocks

Step 4, Install font rendering and System San Francisco font

Infinality for better font rendering:

Refresh the mirrors:

# pacman -Syy

Download Infinality: # https://gist.github.com/cryzed/e002e7057435f02cc7894b9e748c5671

# ~~pacman -S infinality-bundle infinality-bundle-multilib~~

System San Francisco font:

Download the font package from here. Unzip the archive:

$ unzip /path/to/YosemiteSanFranciscoFont-master.zip

and move the fonts to the .fonts folder (create a folder called ~/.fonts if it doesn't exist).

Step 5, Install graphics drivers (Nvidia)

# pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl lib32-nvidia-libgl lib32-nvidia-utils

Step 5 (X220), Install graphics drivers (intel)

# pacman -S xf86-video-intel

Notes for X220

Enable tlp services tlp.service and tlp-sleep.service and disable systemd-rfkill.service
