dotfiles

Don’t forget --recurse-submodules when cloning!

The basic steps are:

• If on macOS, install Homebrew.
• Install Ansible.
• Install Ansible roles from Galaxy.
• Install software through the package manager.
• Install GitHub repos and programming languages.
• Deploy dotfiles.
• Set the shell to zsh.

To perform these steps,

bash ./bootstrap_package_installation.bash
# depending on the OS; this step isn't smart yet
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_packages_{arch,debian}.yaml -b -K
# or
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_packages_homebrew.yaml
# then
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_all_system.yaml -b -K
ansible-playbook ./ansible/install_all.yaml
ansible-playbook ./ansible/set_shell.yaml -b -K

Nix package manager

Multi-user install:

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

home-manager

nix run home-manager/release-24.05 -- switch --flake ~/dotfiles#eric@osmium
