Happy's Installation Script
**This is specifically designed to suit my needs**. *With that said...*
For beginners and experts alike, setting up a bunch of applications is laborious and exhausting
so I have made a few tweaks to my installation so that it is more accessible to
people who are looking for a quick and easy Linux installation script.
If you are looking for a more general installation script, other scripts on GitHub would suit your needs much closer than this repository.
For example, I've found that [Larbs](https://larbs.xyz/) aligns well with my preferences.
If you use this script: **Thank you**. When people file issues and PRs tell me what will break this thing, I can focus on improving it.
## Dependencies
These are **required** for downloading **optional** programs *(see __Optional Programs__ in the following section)*.
* [git](https://git-scm.com) - the stupid content tracker
* [curl](https://curl.se) - a tool for transferring data to and from servers
* [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) - a network downloader
* [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) - a command line fuzzy finder
## Installation
1. [Clone](https://github.com/git-guides/git-clone) this repository into `$HOME/dotfiles` (backup your existing files)
2. Give the `INSTALL` file executable permissions with `chmod +x INSTALL`
3. Run the `INSTALL` file via `./INSTALL`
## Optional Programs
These are **optional** programs that you can *choose* to install.
* [zsh](https://www.zsh.org) with [oh-my-zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) also attached.
* [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash) with tweaks such as fzf and coloured manual pages.
* [vim](https://www.vim.org/) with the following tweaks/plugins:
* The [Pathogen](https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim) plugin manager.
* [ctrlp](https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim) for file navigation.
* [gitgutter](https://www.vim.org/) and [fugitive](https://tpope.io/vim/fugitive.git) for version control.
* [vim-surround](https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround) because its awesome.
* [vim-sensible](https://tpope.io/vim/sensible.git) because everybody likes a few sensible defaults.
* [vim-vinegar](https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar) for interactive file navigation *and* file refactoring.
* [vim-repeat](https://tpope.io/vim/repeat.git) so that `.` will also work with plugins.
* [astronvim](https://astronvim.com/).
* [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
* [Eza](https://github.com/eza-community/eza/tree/main) which is an `ls` alternative
* [Tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) with the option of [TPM](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm)
## Fonts
**Nerd fonts** are cool because they combine multiple characters into a single glyph, making programming and looking at code much easier.
I think [NerdFonts.com](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) describes it well.
> Nerd Fonts patches developer-targeted fonts with many glyphs (icons).

Here are the fonts that I've chosen to be installed:
* NerdFontsSymbolsOnly
* Fira Code
* Fira Mono
* Agave
* Droid Sans Mono
* Fantasque Sans Mono
## Requirements
* You must have an internet connection for this to work!
* You must be running either Debian, Ubuntu or a GNU/Linux distribution that uses `apt` as its native package manager.
* You must have a decent amount of storage. I haven't measured the storage precisely, but generally, when installing Linux you should have 15-20 GB (at least!).
## Thanks
A lot of the good stuff in this script came from this file lucario378 which has been monolithically helpful throughout the development process.
I also used stack overflow when I got stuck. Shout out to these awesome humans:
