How to use

I'm assuming you have just installed [Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com/) successfully.

1. Clone this repo, you can do a shallow clone if you wish (by adding `--depth=1` to the following
command).
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/nico-castell/PopOS-Setup.git
```
2. Given that the main branch is always under development, you might want to checkout the last tag,
which will be the last known stable version.
```shell
$ git checkout $(git describe --tags --abrev=0) # Go to the last tag
$ git checkout main # Go back to main
```
3. (Optional) Look at the instuctions in thme [gnome_apperance](scripts/gnome_appearance.sh) script,
and configure the file structure for the script to set up the GNOME appearance with your themes.
```
scripts
└── themes
├── background
│ └── image.png
├── cursor
│ └── cursor.tar.gz
├── icons
│ └── icons.tar.gz
└── theme
└── theme.tar.gz
```
4. (Optional) If you plan on building a minecraft server, you should check that the `$download_link`
and `$version` variables are up to date, they're always market as `TODO` to be easy to find.
5. Run the [popOS_setup.sh](popOS_setup.sh) script.
```shell
$ ./popOS_setup.sh
```
6. Follow the instructions from the script.
7. Wait, this script will as for further instructions as it goes about doing it's thing.

Keep in mind

- You **must** have an internet connection to run the script.
- If you choose to update the backup image, it will have to download an entire image of
[Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com/). So it can take very long, depending on your internet
connection.
- If you're using an older nvidia GPU not supported by the latest nvidia driver, it might be better
to download the [Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com/) ISO without their custom driver, and then
choose the latest driver that supports your GPU from the list the script offers. (I'm talking
from experience)

Known issues

1. [*duc_noip_install*](duc_noip_install): The installer can't seem to understand symbols when
typing a password, at least on my tests, the script opens *gedit* for you to copy/paste your
password and work around the issue.
2. [*mc_server_builder*](mc_server_builder): The link to download the latest version of the server
must be manually updated for every minecraft release.
