Requirements

• Install Oh My Posh and read how to configure it
• Install patched fonts such as Nerd Fonts (e.g. Roboto Mono Nerd Font)
• Install neovim
• Run install.sh (see below)

Installation

Installation on Ubuntu

The installation is pretty simple. It will download and install some of the necessary sotfware and libs. It also will create my default directories and organize the files. To install simply follow:

• Git clone this repo
• Change the USER_NAME variable in the install.sh file to your current home user
• Run install.sh

Post-Installation

After everything is installed some of the configurations should me changed as follows:

• The USER_NAME variable in the ~/.tmux.conf to your current home user.
• The ~/scripts/monitor file should be changed to your current monitor settings.
• The ~/scripts/tv-audio, ~/scripts/mic-audio and ~/scripts/set-audio-profiles files should be altered to your current audio settings.
• To check your monitor settings use $ arandr. $ pacmd list-cards and $ pacmd list-sinks might be helpful to check the audio settings.

Basic Shortcuts and Commands

To be updated

There are a few basic shortcuts and commands that you should know to have a better workflow. You can customize it as you please.
I've made a few cheat sheets on the programs and shortcuts that I use:

• nvim - leader key: space
• tmux - leader key: ctrl-a
• i3wm - leader key: super
• Terminal

Automatically Mount Partitions

reference: AutomaticallyMountPartitions

In order to mount partitions on startup the 'filesystem table' should be edited. It can be a dangerous process, so be sure to save a backup file. This file is located at:

/etc/fstab

To get all the information you need about the partitions available on your system, use the following command:

$ lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE,FSTYPE,UUID

To have write access to 'ntfs' file system you should install the 'ntfs-3g' package.

To grant all users access to '/dev/sdb1', which will be located at '/media/victor/backup', and is of type 'ntfs' the line would be:

/dev/sdb1 /media/victor/backup ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
