Development Environment Setup Script

A one-command script to set up your development environment on a new Linux machine or MacBook Pro.

Quick Start (Recommended)

Run this directly from GitHub without cloning:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zdevtool/zdevtool_init_script/main/setup_dev_env.sh | bash

Or download first, then execute:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zdevtool/zdevtool_init_script/main/setup_dev_env.sh -o setup_dev_env.sh
chmod +x setup_dev_env.sh
./setup_dev_env.sh

What It Does

The script will:

1. Detect your OS - Automatically identifies whether you're running macOS or Linux
2. Update system packages - Updates and upgrades your system packages
3. Interactive installation - Asks you for each component whether you want to install or skip

Installed Components

• curl - Command-line URL transfer tool
• git - Version control system
• zsh - Z shell
• oh-my-zsh - Zsh framework with plugins (zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestions)
• tmux - Terminal multiplexer
• python3 - Latest Python 3 and pip
• node.js - Latest LTS version
• htop - Interactive process viewer
• vim - Text editor

Usage (Alternative: Clone the Repo)

1. Clone or copy this repository to your new machine:

   git clone https://github.com/zdevtool/zdevtool_init_script.git
   cd zdevtool_init_script

2. Run the script:

   ./setup_dev_env.sh

3. Follow the prompts - the script will ask you:

   • Whether to update/upgrade system packages
   • Whether to install each component (Y/n for each)

4. Enter your password when prompted (for sudo access)

Requirements

• macOS or Linux
• Internet connection
• Sudo/admin privileges

Supported Package Managers

• macOS: Homebrew
• Linux: apt-get, dnf, yum, pacman, zypper

Notes

• The script checks if each tool is already installed and skips it if present
• You'll need to restart your shell after oh-my-zsh installation for changes to take effect
• The script is safe to run multiple times - it will only install missing components
