Installation

1. Homebrew

1.1. Install Homebrew and required tools

Install the Homebrew dependencies for Linux

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

Warning

Make sure to follow the steps in "next steps" displayed after the installation.

1.2. Install required dependencies

yay -S openssh \
    wl-clipboard

brew install chezmoi \
    jq \
    lastpass-cli

Note

To install hyprland refer to the hyprland documentation.

2. Setup ssh for GitHub

2.1. Create ssh key

mkdir ~/.ssh && cd $_
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]" -f "github-abiencourt"

# Copy the public key to clipboard
if [[ $OSTYPE == 'darwin'* ]]; then
    pbcopy <~/.ssh/github-abiencourt.pub
else
    wl-copy <~/.ssh/github-abiencourt.pub # https://neovim.io/doc/user/provider.html#provider-clipboard
fi

# Start the ssh-agent and add the key
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/github-abiencourt

# Add the GitHub SSH key to known_host
curl --silent https://api.github.com/meta |
jq --raw-output '"github.com "+.ssh_keys[]' >>~/.ssh/known_hosts

2.2. Associate the key with GitHub

Add the copied key in your GitHub Profile SSH keys.

3. Login to lastpass-cli

lpass login --trust <email>

4. Getting started with chezmoi

chezmoi init --apply abiencourt

4. Additional steps based on OS

• MacOS
• Arch

5. Configure GitHub CLI

gh auth login

Tools

List of tools used is available in Tools. Tools and dependencies will be automatically installed through packages.yaml.

KDE Plasma widgets

• Wallhaven Wallpaper Reborn

Configure fingerprint

Once fprintd is installed through packages.yaml, go to "user settings" to add finger print.

More details on the KDE forum: How I got my Fingerprint scanner to work

sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sudo

👇

#%PAM-1.0
auth            sufficient      pam_fprintd.so
auth            include         system-auth
account         include         system-auth
session         include         system-auth

To-Do

• Create a bootstrap script to install the brew bases and login to lastpass
• Look at Timeshift and find out how to partition properly
• Work on the format with {{ end -}}
• Delete /home.orig/ when sure that nothing is broken
• Change zsh/ to exact_zsh/
• Finish to setup wtfutil
• Finish setting up required tools for lf previewer => https://github.com/NikitaIvanovV/ctpv
• Install howdy, follow the steps on this page
• Install and configure swww for wallpaper
• Finish the installation of hyprland
• add homebrew to packages.yaml
• Test .first-install.sh script, could it be that --apply while running chezmoi init --apply breaks it
• Rust installation with rustup-init fails at first install
• default nvim config has issue with abiencourt.env file
• write step to install plasma widget and Krohnkite manually

Mount /home from a partition

Using a separate partition/drive as /home is really useful when distro hopping or reinstalling the OS. Below a great article going through each steps of the process.

Warning

As I use brew for most of my cli tools, I rely heavily on the linuxbrew user in /home. The command mv /home /home.orig in the tutorial will break a lot of things on the current logged in session. Best way to avoid this, is to open a new TTY (CTRL+ALT+F3) and run these commands in it.

sudo mv /home /home.orig
sudo mkdir /home
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p4 /home/
