sudo apt install rxvt-unicode-256color
See this blog post for instructions on setting up a Vim-friendly desktop environment on Crunchbang++.
macOS
sudo port install grep coreutils zsh tmux git
To set the MacPorts zsh as the default shell:
sudo chpass -s '/opt/local/bin/zsh' $USER
Installing the dotfiles
Clone this repo somewhere (e.g. ~/.dotfiles) and then do the following:
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh
The script only creates symlinks and is completely non-destructive; it creates
backups of any existing files. You can also start it with -d for a dry-run.
If you are using a different location than ~/.dotfiles, you must manually
set DOTFILES to point to the cloned repo in ~/.bashrc-pre and
~/.zshrc-pre after the installation.
Installing NeoVim plugins
- Execute the following:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\ &&
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim
- Start NeoVim, then execute
:PackerSync
