Installation

Prerequisites

A network connection is required. A basic network configuration for systemd-networkd is shown below:

>/etc/systemd/network/90-wired.network <<-EOF cat
	[Match]
	Name=en*

	[Network]
	Description=Wired Connection
	DHCP=yes
	DNS=1.1.1.1
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now systemd-{network,resolve}d

Bootstrap

Download and execute bootstrap-linux.sh to begin the bootstrap process:

mkdir -p ~/.bootstrap
curl -#fsSLo ~/.bootstrap/bootstrap.sh 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperupcall/dotfiles/trunk/bootstrap-linux.sh'
chmod +x ~/.bootstrap/bootstrap.sh
~/.bootstrap/bootstrap.sh

The bootstrap script performs the following steps:

Installs Homebrew on macOS
Installs cURL, Git, Vim, and Zsh
Clones hyperupcall/dotfiles to ~/.dotfiles
Symlinks ~/scripts to ~/.dotfiles/scripts
Creates ~/.bootstrap/bootstrap-out.sh. Sourcing it:
- Sets NAME, EMAIL, EDITOR, and VISUAL
- Prepends $HOME/.dotfiles/.data/bin and $HOME/.locall/bin to PATH
- Sources ~/.dotfiles/config/xdg.sh, if it exists

Next Steps
