1. Backup EVERYTHING before ruining your machine

BlockTube

2. Remove passwd

sudo passwd -d root
sudo passwd -d smalinux

3. Main setup

Please MAKE SURE TO RUN .~/dotfiles/scripts/apt.sh MULTIPLE TIMES…​

Also, since there are so many private repos, please, configure git & passwd correct here. Later on I have to automate this step.

sudo apt update
sudo apt-file update
yes | sudo apt install git

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/smalinux/dotfiles

cd dotfiles
./main.sh

4. install-*.sh scripts

run this scripts as you need.

dotfiles/install/install-bat.sh
dotfiles/install/install-bcc.sh
dotfiles/install/install-fd.sh
dotfiles/install/install-fzf.sh
dotfiles/install/install-mpvplugin.sh
dotfiles/install/install-pcp.sh
dotfiles/install/install-tpm.sh

5. Fix vim-fzf installation

cd ~/.vim/bundle/fzf/
sudo ./uninstall
sudo ./install

6. Install FZF

Don’t use the package manager for this package.

sh ~/dotfiles/install-fzf.sh

you can pip any thing any time to fzf and your life will be much faster :)

# fzf wiki
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/examples

7. Install coc.vim

sudo -s
curl -sL install-node.now.sh/lts | bash
exit
sh ~/dotfiles/scripts/coc.vim.sh

Run :CheckHealth is a very nice command.

:cocInstall coc-git
:cocInstall coc-pyright

8. vimspector

Install:

cd /home/smalinux/.vim/bundle/vimspector
./install_gadget.py --enable-c

bash command to copy .vimspector.json to current directory:

vimspector

9. setup your mutt

# config file here:
~/dotfiles/.muttrc ~/.muttrc
# then edit the file, set your passwd

10. How to apply suckless patches

this command

cd /project/dir
patch -p1 < dwm-autostart-20210120-cb3f58a.diff

sometimes this command fail. if he fail to apply specific hunk will generate file called file.rej

so open your file and file.rej, compare …​ apply them manually…​

11. Update my st Link:https://st.suckless.org/patches/xresources/[Xresources]

Edit this file ~/.strc and just hit this command:

12. cache git password
