dotfiles

These are my personal dot-files and configuration files.

MacOS

1. Clone this repo into ~/repos/dotfiles.
2. Set up git. If necessary, generate new SSH keys and add them to your github account.
3. Navigate to the dotfiles directory, and run . mac.sh.
4. Run :PlugInstall in vim, to install all .vimrc plugins.

Windows

I spend nearly 100% of my time on mac these days, so these instructions are no longer maintained.

WSL

1. Install Ubuntu on Windows from the Microsoft Store.
2. Clones this repo, move .vimrc and .tmux.conf into ~/. If you want to use oh-my-zsh, also move ryi.zsh-theme into the appropriate themes folder ~/.oh-my-zsh/... and copy the .zshrc file over as well.
3. Add the contents of .bashrc_partial to .bashrc, or whatever shell config file you're using.
4. Run a sudo apt-get update.
5. Install pip and pip3 with sudo apt-get install python3-pip and sudo apt-get install python-pip (optional).
6. sudo pip3 install virtualenv.
7. Create a ./venvs folder.
8. Run virtualenv -p python3 default within this folder.
9. Install jupyter-nb-extensions.
10. Install jupyter-vim-binding.

Vimwiki Links in Browser

Add the line: export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe' to your .zshrc file in order to open links in chrome (or whatever browser you want to use). By default, I've already added it to my .zshrc file within this repo, but you might want to change the path according to your default browser.

Unfortunately, however, this doesn't work out of the box for the reasons laid out here: microsoft/WSL#1766 (at least as of 2019-03-27). Basically, xdg-open, which is used by vimwiki by default, hates spaces. To fix this, you can go directly into the executable file for xdg-open in /usr/bin/xdg-open and quote instances of $browser$, replacing them with "$browser" (around line 840).

Notes

• If using WSL, don't save important non-git-associated files in ~/ -- this directory will be deleted upon uninstall of Ubuntu. Use the /mnt/c/Users/USERNAME directory instead.
