Scripts to install the dotfiles & tools that i use in 🐧 Ubuntu 24.04 (it could work on others Debian-based Linux distributions).

Inspired by:

• https://github.com/victoriadrake/dotfiles
• https://github.com/alrra/dotfiles

👉 Requirements

• Install git & curl
• Install ZSH & set it as the default shell
  • Logout & login are required !
  • Verify that ZSH is the default shell

sudo apt install git curl

sudo apt install zsh
chsh -s "$(which zsh)"
gnome-session-quit # logout (for Gnome environments)

echo $SHELL

🖱 Usage

Before running these scripts, you should review them & modify them according to your needs.

The scripts behaviours can be changed with these environment variables:

• SKIP_APT_UPDATE: Avoid updating APT before installing the tools
• SKIP_CONFIRMATION: Avoid asking for confirmation to install/configure some optional tools
• SKIP_DESKTOP_TOOLS: Avoid installing desktop tools

# Environment variables can be set before running the scripts ...
export SKIP_APT_UPDATE=true
export SKIP_CONFIRMATION=true
export SKIP_DESKTOP_TOOLS=true

# but also when running the scripts
SKIP_APT_UPDATE=true SKIP_CONFIRMATION=true SKIP_DESKTOP_TOOLS=true ./install.sh <command>

There are two usage alternatives:

• Run the "all-in-one" command to configure the dotfiles & install the tools
• Run commands step by step

# Display all available commands
./install.sh

# Run the "all-in-one" command (optional tools will require confirmation)
SKIP_CONFIRMATION=false ./install.sh all

# Run the "all-in-one" command without confirming the optional tools
SKIP_CONFIRMATION=true ./install.sh all

# Run the "all-in-one" command without confirming the optional tools, but skipping the desktop tools
SKIP_CONFIRMATION=true SKIP_DESKTOP_TOOLS=true ./install.sh all

# Command: Create symlinks
./install.sh create_symlinks

# Command: Create local configuration files
./install.sh create_local_configs

# Command: Install common tools

# Command: Install desktop tools (only in GUI environments)
