dotfiles

1. set the fqdn (this is necessary for some of the host-specific chezmoi config):

# debian
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname $MY_HOSTNAME.local

# macos
sudo scutil --set HostName $MY_HOSTNAME.local
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName $MY_HOSTNAME
sudo scutil --set ComputerName $MY_HOSTNAME
dscacheutil -flushcache  # maybe reboot, too?

2. set the shell (linux-only):

# debian
chsh -s $(which zsh)

3. set up the package manager:

# debian - nothing to do here

# macos
xcode-select --install
# download the pkg installer from: https://www.macports.org
# TODO: is there a reasonable unattended install workflow for macports?

4. install a patched font, Anonymice Pro. size 16 or 17, no anti-aliasing

5. bootstrap chezmoi:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- \
  init \
  git://pingo.thermokar.st/dotfiles \
  --apply \
  --guess-repo-url=false

6. set the shell (mac-only):

# macos
sudo chpass -s '/opt/local/bin/zsh' $USER

7. install miniconda:

# debian
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh

# macos
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh -O miniconda.sh

# then, for either os:
chmod +x miniconda.sh
sudo ./miniconda.sh -b -u -p /opt/miniconda3

8. set up non-automated software and tools:

• steermouse (license in email): btn4==fwd, btn5==bck
• rust (don't use a package manager for this)
  • rust-analyzer (rustup component add rust-analyzer)
• gwar (git clone ssh://git@pingo.thermokar.st/gwar && cd gwar && cargo build --release && cp target/release/gwar ~/bin)
