# Freebsd
This is going to come handy for anybody who uses FreeBSD 11.x > as their development platform.
# When installing
[] Make sure you add the user (*in my case - the user* is named as **ram**) to the group `wheel`
# Upon installation
After installation you will see a console prompt as here.
# Gnome3
Install Gnome 3 lite.
```
$ su
$ pkg install gnome3-lite
```
Then follow the instructions here
[FreeBSD X11](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x11-wm.html)
## How to do pkg install ?
[](https://asciinema.org/a/gby5ujfkX9dT13cSW1fkCnNcS)
## XOrg
Include the *i915kms* for the UI to come up. There is no `xorg.conf`, the UI automatically loads.
```
kld_list="i915kms"
```
# Sudo
```
su
pkg install sudo
```
Add the user to sudoer file
# Bash
If you come from linux land, then you will have used bash scripts.
Now that we have installed `sudo`, lets use them.
```
sudo pkg install bash
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
shutdown -r now
```
The shell refreshed after doing a reboot.
# Make in linux is `gmake` here.
The `Make` that comes in freebsd is [Berkely Make](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/tools-make.html)
But you can install and setup an *alias* **make** in the `.bashrc`
```
pkg install gmake
```
# Rust
This is pretty easy to [install](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html)
```
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
rustup component add rustfmt-preview
```
It didn't pull some of the `LIB` like `SODIUM` when compiling.
So add this in your *.bashrc* file
```
export SODIUM_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/lib
```
# OCaml 4.06.1
This is pretty easy but will become difficult when `opam 2.0` is released, since it needs a better version of OCaml to perform the `switch`. The OCaml packaged in FreeBSD is
`4.02.3`
```
sudo pkg install ocaml-opam
opam init
opam switch 4.06.1
```
# Nodejs
This is pretty easy, but you won't be able to use the latest and greatest.
You can compile from source.
```
# Install node 9.3
pkg install node
```
## Yarn
[Install 1.5.x](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
```
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash
```
# Ruby
This isn't as sweet as imagined pretty easy but will become difficult when `opam 2.0` is released.
Install RVM
```
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
```
Install Ruby
```
rvm install ruby
```
Install bundler
```
gem install bundler
```
Install native packages
```
sudo pkg install pkgconfig cmake libgit2
```
# Git
```
sudo pkg install git
```
# PostgreSQL 10.x
FreeBSD has the latest packaged.
```
sudo pkg install postgresql10-server-10.3 postgresql10-client-10.3
```
# Asciinema
```
pkg install asciinema
```
# Editors
With modern editors picking up, this has been a major hassle for folks to move.
## Text editor
If you are used to `vim` then great. But there is another editor `vi` which works better than `nano`
### Vim
This editor is great. I recently moved to this, and has been going strong.
#### Tips
- [Mastering VIM - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlR5gYd6um0&t=741s)
- [Search & Replace in all files](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4804405/search-and-replace-in-vim-across-all-the-project-files/38004355#38004355)
- [Silver searcher is deprecated, usage ack](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4792561/how-to-do-search-replace-with-ack-in-vim#8744108)
- [Search for matching brackets](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/30396/in-vim-search-backwards-for-matching-braces-parens)
- [Automatically create matching brackets](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/54996/automatically-create-matching-braces-in-vim)
```
:cdo %s///gc
```
Instead of :grep, you can setup `silversearch` and with keymap ` A`
- [Search & Replace in buffer](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_and_replace_in_multiple_buffers)
A separate project will have my vim cheatsheet.
### VSCode
The editor support is picky.
If you have the time the compile [vscode` from source](https://gist.github.com/prash-wghats/89be1ee069d2acf23c289e9c606616e1)
### Sublime Text
Unfortunately this is commercial software. But supports well.
The following `Package Control` will come in handy.
- [Better OCAML](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Better%20OCaml)
- [Golang Build](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Golang%20Build)
- [Rust Enhanced](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Rust%20Enhanced)
- [SideBar Tools](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SideBarTools)
- [Dark Monokai Theme applied in the Sidebar](https://github.com/eneko89/sublime-monokai-sidebar)
### Atom Xray - not ready yet
We need to keep a tab on this project [https://github.com/atom/xray](https://github.com/atom/xray)
### C9 IDE - using containers
This is a nodejs project (C9 IDE)[https://github.com/c9/core]
### Gnome Builder
Supports *C/C++, Python, Rust* - Yay. But not `OCaml, JS, Ruby`.
```
pkg install gnome-builder
```
### SlickEdit
This is a great editor, kept up to a core developer experience. But commercial.
[](https://asciinema.org/a/168519)
There is no FreeBSD bundle. You can download the 64 bit Linux bundle. See the AsciiCast in installing SlickEdit.
```
tar -xvf sestandard*.tar.gz
cd sestandard*
sudo brandelf -t Linux vsinst
./vsinst
```
# Browser
No vivaldi or brave
Chromium is heavy
```
sudo pkg install chromium
```
Firefox has the latest updated version and recommended.
```
sudo pkg install firefox
```
# Picture viewer
I find `viewnior` better than `EyeOfGnome` as it easy of memory.
```
sudo pkg install viewnior
```
# Compressor (Archiver)
Fileroller from Gnome is good. But `xarchiver` does the job for me.
```
pkg install xarchiver
```
# Network
Still run using the base WiFi during the setup. Need to add `network-manager` to manage the network.
# The configuration files
Assumptions in the folder structure posted.
- `ram` is my $HOME = */usr/home/ram*
- `ram/etc` actually resides */etc*
