README 

        
## WSL installation



Install WSL, using version **2**



```bash

wsl --set-default version 2

wsl --install Ubuntu-22.04

```



Once WSL is installed and configured, we will start using commands within Ubuntu



## Update ubuntu packages



```bash

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

```



## Homebrew package manage installation



[_Homebrew web_](https://brew.sh)



```bash

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

```



```bash

# Use the following command to add Homebrew to the path

(echo; echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /home/$USER/.bashrc

eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"



# Install Homebrew's dependencies if you have sudo access

sudo apt-get install build-essential



# We recommend that you install GCC:

brew install gcc

```



## Fish shell installation



[_Fish shell web_](https://fishshell.com)



```bash

# Only choose one option

# To get the latest version use Homebrew



brew install fish



# To get the latest version within the ubuntu repositories



sudo apt install fish

```



**Set fish as default shell**



**Check the fish path (In the examples below it was located at: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish)**



```bash

which fish

```



**Add fish to the know shells (Replace FISH_PATH with your fish path)**

Example path: `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish`



```bash

# After this command restart WSL terminal.



sudo sh -c 'echo FISH_PATH >> /etc/shells'

```



**Set fish as the default shell**



```bash

# After this command restart WSL terminal.

chsh -s FISH_PATH

```



If fish has been installed correctly when you reopen WSL you will see a message like this



```bash

Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell

Type help for instructions on how to use fish

```



**Add brew binaries in fish path (use the fish path but remove the fish subfolder from the path in my case it would be this)**



```bash

fish_add_path /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin

```



**Fisher plugin manager** ([_Fisher repository_](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher))



```bash

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher

```



You can create aliases to shorten commands, for example I like to shorten git commands



```bash

alias --save ALIAS_NAME="git checkout main"

alias --save myProject="cd ~/Documents/Projects/Project1"



# To use them just call them by their name

ALIAS_NAME #Execute "git checkout main"

myProject #Go to Project1 folder

```



## Zellij installation



[_Zellij web_](https://zellij.dev)



```bash

brew install zellij

```



If you want to always start with zellij open fish config file



```bash

nano ~/.config/fish/config.fish

```



We add the following line and the file would look like this



```bash

# line to add in config.fish

 eval "$(zellij setup --generate-auto-start fish)"

```



```bash

# config.fish



if status is-interactive

    # Commands to run in interactive sessions can go here

    eval "$(zellij setup --generate-auto-start fish)"

end

```



Save and restart WSL terminal and next time you start WSL it will start with Zellij and Fish



## Nvim and LazyVim installation



```bash

brew install nvim

```



**Install LazyVim** ([_LazyVim installation_](https://www.lazyvim.org/installation))



Verify and fix plugin dependencies (To verify errors, use :LazyHealth) and install nodejs



```bash

brew install ripgrep

brew install luarocks

brew install fd

brew install fzf

brew install lazygit

brew install node@20 # @version

```



```bash

# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment

node -v # should print `v20.17.0`



# verifies the right npm version is in the environment

npm -v # should print `10.8.2`

```



## Continue with customization:



- Copy .config folder



if you have a vs-code-json-language-server warning run this command



```

sudo ln -s /home/julian/.nvm/versions/node/v20.17.0/bin/node /usr/bin/node

```
