Awesome OS Setup Help

Linux setup

Desktop with terminals

A set of configurations, dotfiles and a script to automatically set up a powerful terminal & shell utilities(zsh, fzf...), themes like Powerlvl10k, Conda, GPU drivers, and more on Linux/WSL2.

I developed this tool to streamline the setup process when working on various servers, such as AWS instances and not having to install everything manually every time. While it's particularly useful for Python developers, feel free to customize it for your specific needs. The script is in bash (might move to Ansible in the future).

Step 1 - Terminal customization :

  • Download and install the Firacode font on your primary operating system (Windows if you are using WSL).

  • For Windows users: Automatic installation of the Terminal settings available with this command

Step 2—Run the script :

  • Run this command & choose what to install: oh-my-zsh, pl10k theme, miniconda & cuda (if you have a GPU) automatically:

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmineDjeghri/Awesome-Windows11-WSL-Linux/master/unix_workflow/setup_linux.sh -O -)"
  • Do not run the script with sudo otherwise it will install some packages in /root instead of /home.

    • Also, make sure to type yes when installing conda. If you are facing some problems, take a look at section 2.2.

    • (Optional) If you have custom configurations in your .bashrc, consider copying them to the .zshrc file.

    • (Optional) If you have ssh keys, copy them to the .ssh folder.
