# repo containing configs and scripts to set up a box
|
|
|
|
### prerequisites
|
|
- when running on a fresh system, ensure package manager is configured
|
|
- i.e. source repos, mirrors, etc. are configured
|
|
- if on macOS, have to first install the package manager, [homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
|
|
- zsh is installed (scripts are written for zsh)
|
|
- ensure ZDOTDIR is set in a persistent way for system (not just setup scripts)
|
|
- current approach: add `export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/zsh"` to `/etc/zshenv`
|
|
- export the env var `BOX_SETUP_OS` to indicate the operating system
|
|
- options defined in `set_script_env_vars` file
|
|
- ensure sudo access is configured for the current user (2025-01-27, not needed on macos)
|
|
|
|
### script run
|
|
- git clone this repo (TODO: consider adding logic to handle automatically)
|
|
- from the repo's root directory, run `./box_setup`
|
|
|
|
### todo items
|
|
- nvim config
|
|
- consider: optional vim config as a backup?
|
|
- decide on and implement approach for languages and versioning
|
|
- docker? or alternatives like podman? any license concerns?
|
|
- asdf, or language-specific version managers?
|
|
- hybrid of the above?
