## Install
The following snippets are provided for convenience and to be able to selectively install stuff. Put them in a shell script in case you need to run things automagically.
#### zsh
Make sure to install this before linking the .zshrc file, then remove the one created
by the script and link everything from `.zprezto/runcoms`
```
$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:ephe-meral/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"
$ cd ~/.zprezto && git remote add upstream https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git && cd -
```
To update Prezto, run:
```
$ cd ~/.zprezto
$ git fetch upstream master && git rebase upstream/master
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ git push
```
#### this repo
```
$ mkdir ~/projects
$ cd ~/projects && git clone git@github.com:ephe-meral/dotfiles.git
```
#### home folders
Note that these contain lower-cased names. To correctly set these, we run `xdg-user-dirs-update` during startup. (See `X/.xinit.rc`)
```
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin ~/.config ~/documents ~/downloads/transfer ~/media/usb ~/music ~/pictures ~/work
$ ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/X/user-dirs.dirs $HOME/.config/
$ ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/X/user-dirs.locale $HOME/.config/
```
#### i3
No special handling. Link the folder as instructed below.
#### dotfiles/folders
Symlink the repo stuff to your home:
```
$ ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/[folder or file in repo] $HOME/[folder or file in home]
```
Some folders/files (see tree below) want to be linked to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. Either use that var instead of `$HOME` if it exists, or use this:
```
$ ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/[folder or file in repo] $HOME/.config/[folder or file in home]
```
These are the current files & folders that need linking: (For special instructions see in-line comment or below)
```

```
#### fonts
Install this before the terminal etc.
```
$ fc-cache -f ~/.fonts
$ sudo cp fonts/local.conf /usr/local/etc/fonts/
```
#### neovim
Link `nvim`. Then, in neovim, install the plugins:
```
:PlugInstall
```
#### scripts
Symlink whatever you need to $HOME/.bin/[script name] instead of the standard approach
#### bitlbee
Be sure to initialize the user-data dir, and copy any settings from offline storage.
```
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/bitlbee
```
#### weechat
Copy any settings (the `~/.weechat` folder) from offline storage.
Note: After weechat vers. 1.8 the buflist plugin for a sidepanel with buffers will be installed by default.
Enable mouse:
```
/set weechat.look.mouse on
/mouse enable
```
#### tex building
Install tectonic, entr and mupdf and then use the following command to continuously build and update the PDF file when the source texfile changes:
```
$ build_tex yourtexfile.tex
```
#### python
Installing this the first time needed some additional libraries I didn't have to make later build processes work.
I am using pyenv to manage python versions - before installing them though, make sure to install also:
- libressl-devel
- libffi-devel
