This repository contains a comprehensive Bash script designed to automate the installation and configuration of a high-performance, TUI-focused (Terminal User Interface) development environment. I built this to eliminate the friction of manual setups and ensure a consistent, powerful workflow across different machines.
The script provides an interactive selection menu to install and configure a curated suite of modern terminal tools:
- Shell: ZSH with Oh-My-Zsh, autosuggestions, and syntax highlighting.
- IDE: Neovim (v0.9+) pre-configured with LazyVim, including extra plugins for Obsidian and SQL management (DadBod).
- Multiplexer: Tmux with TPM (Tmux Plugin Manager) and a custom Catppuccin-inspired theme.
- Terminal: Kitty emulator configuration with GPU acceleration support.
- Navigation: Zoxide (smart cd), FZF (fuzzy finder), and Yazi (blazing fast terminal file manager).
- Monitoring: Btop for system resources and Bandwhich for network utilization.
- Extras: Nerd Fonts (JetBrainsMono) and Browsh (text-based browser).
The script is designed to be cross-distribution and automatically detects the following package managers:
- APT (Debian/Ubuntu)
- DNF (Fedora/RHEL)
- Pacman (Arch Linux)
- Zypper (openSUSE)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/b92c/setup-dev-environment-terminal.git
cd setup-dev-environment-terminal
- Make the script executable:
chmod +x setup_dev_environment.sh
- Run the script:
./setup_dev_environment.sh
Once the script starts, you will see an interactive menu:
- Arrows (↑/↓) or j/k: Navigate the list.
- Space or x: Toggle individual applications.
- 'a': Select/Deselect all.
- Numbers (1-9, 0): Direct toggle for specific items.
- Enter: Confirm and start installation.
After the script finishes, remember to:
- ZSH: Restart your terminal or run
source ~/.zshrc. - Neovim: Run
nvimto allow LazyVim to install its plugins. - Tmux: Open
tmuxand pressprefix + I(Ctrl+A + I by default in this config) to install plugins. - Path: The script adds
$HOME/.local/binand$HOME/.cargo/binto your PATH.
