Manual Installation

Download fonts and colorscheme

• Nerd Fonts
  • DejaVuSansMono
• Nightfox colorscheme
  • iterm
  • Windows Terminal

Setup Terminal

Mac

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install git
brew cask install iterm2

Open iterm2

open ~/Downloads/nightfox.itermcolors
rm ~/Downloads/nightfox.itermcolors

Update profile as needed to use font and colorscheme.

Windows

• Install Terminal from the App Store
• Install Ubuntu from the App Store
• Start Terminal and create simple mlaursen user
• Open the settings (<ctrl-,>)
  • Open the settings.json file
    • Paste the contents of windows_terminal.json into the themes section
  • Update the Ubuntu appearance to use font and colorscheme
• Symlink wslview to xdg-open so that gx and gX work
  • sudo ln -s $(which wslview) /usr/local/bin/xdg-open

Setup dotfiles

Clone this repo and setup code directory:

git clone git@github.com:mlaursen/dotfiles.git "~/dotfiles"
mkdir ~/code

Symlink dotfiles

ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.dir_colors ~/.dir_colors
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.editorconfig ~/.editorconfig
ln -s ~/dotfiles/lazyvim/nvim ~/.config/nvim

Install packages

Mac

cd ~/dotfiles
brew bundle

Windows

Neovim will need to be installed from the latest stable release for Ubuntu/WSL.

# Create a symlink to the nvim
sudo ln -s ~/nvim-linux64/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/nvim

# install other packages/dependencies (not sure of full list atm)
sudo apt install python3

Switch to zsh and setup oh my zsh

chsh -s /usr/zsh

If the command above fails, run chsh -l to find the correct zsh path and run with that instead

Logout for the new shell to take effect. Then install oh-my-zsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Symlink my custom theme:

ln -s ~/dotfiles/mlaursen.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/mlaursen.zsh-theme

Install haskell stack:

curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh

Setup zsh-git-prompt:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-git-prompt/zsh-git-prompt ~/code/
cd ~/code/zsh-git-prompt
stack setup
stack build && stack install

If this fails on Apple Silicon M1 Chips

I got it to work by updating the haskell/stack.yaml file with:

volta install node@18
volta install node

volta install pnpm

volta install yarn@1
volta install yarn

Setup neovim

ln -s ~/dotfiles/lazyvim/nvim ~/.config/nvim
pip3 install neovim

# If it failed
pip3 install neovim --user

# if pip3 install hangs on WSL, comment out the export DISPLAY= and the next line in the .zshrc

# Start nvim to start installing packages
nvim

Setup GPG for signing commits

Create a new GPG

Check out Methods of Signing with GPG and Renew GPG Key

Mac

ln -s ~/dotfiles/install/mac/gpg.conf ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
ln -s ~/dotfiles/install/mac/gpg-agent.conf ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Windows

• Create a new GPG
• Export the GPG key: gpg --armor --export-secret-keys UUID_OF_GPG_KEY > private.cert
• Copy the private.cert to Windows Download folder by navigating to \\wsl$\Ubuntu\eome\mlaursen
• Install Kleopatra
  • Uncheck everything except for the required one and Kleopatra
• Import the private.cert into Kleopatra and then certify the new private.cert
• Increase the passphrase duration
  • Ctrl+Shift+, -> GnuPG System -> Private Keys -> Update all caches to 28800

(Windows): Add support for Playwright/Cypress gui

• Install VcXsrv Windows X Server

• Update .zshrc to include:

  # set DISPLAY variable to the IP automatically assigned to WSL2
  export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2; exit;}'):0.0
  
  # might need this as well to start dbus daemon
  # sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start &> /dev/null

• Start X Server (xLaunch)

  • use default options for display settings
  • disable access control in client startup settings
  • allow both private and public networks when the Windows security popup appears
  • save the config somewhere
  • pin the saved xLaunch config to the taskbar

• Whenever I want to use the gui

  • Right click the pin and click the config to start the server
  • Start up the terminal
