Linux Setup Script

This repository contains a comprehensive setup script designed to automate the configuration of a new Linux environment. The script handles package installations, configuration of the Zsh shell with Oh My Zsh, keybindings setup, and more.

Features

• Automatic package installation: Installs packages listed in pacman.txt.
• Flatpak setup: Installs Flatpak and adds the Flathub repository.
• Zsh and Oh My Zsh: Installs Zsh, sets it as the default shell, and configures it with Oh My Zsh and the Powerlevel10k theme.
• Zsh plugins: Installs useful Zsh plugins (zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-completions).
• Keybindings: Configures custom keybindings based on the detected desktop environment (GNOME or KDE).
• Fonts installation: Copies custom fonts to the user's local font directory and refreshes the font cache.
• Alacritty configuration: Sets up the Alacritty terminal emulator with custom settings.
• Wallpapers: Copies wallpapers to the user's Pictures directory.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ThisIsAkill/mybash.git
   cd mybash

2. Make the setup script executable:

   chmod +x setup.sh

3. Run the setup script:

   sudo ./setup.sh

   Note: The script requires root privileges to install packages and perform system-level changes.

File Structure

• setup.sh: The main setup script.
• flatpak.sh: A script for installing additional Flatpak applications (if any).
• pacman.txt: A list of packages to be installed.
• mount.sh: A script that automates the process of adding an entry to /etc/fstab to automatically mount a specified drive at boot. It creates a mount point, sets appropriate permissions, and ensures the drive is mounted correctly.
• pk10k.zsh: Configuration file for Powerlevel10k.
• scripts/: Directory containing additional scripts to be copied to the user's .scripts directory.
• Wallpapers/: Directory containing wallpapers to be copied to the user's Pictures directory.
• Fonts/: Directory containing custom fonts to be installed.
• alacritty.toml: Configuration file for the Alacritty terminal emulator.

Customization

Package List

You can customize the list of packages to be installed by editing the pacman.txt file. Each line in this file should contain the name of a package to be installed.

Zsh Configuration

The Zsh configuration can be customized by editing the pk10k.zsh file and modifying the section appended to the ~/.zshrc file within the setup.sh script.

Keybindings

Keybindings for GNOME and KDE can be adjusted in the setup.sh script under the respective desktop environment sections.

Mounting Drives

• The script must be run with root privileges.

• Ensure the blkid command is available on your system.

• Run the script with the device name as an argument:

  sudo ./mount_drive.sh /dev/sdXn

  Note: Replace /dev/sdXn with your actual device name (e.g., /dev/sda1).

Logging

The script logs all operations to /var/log/setup_script.log. You can review this log file to troubleshoot any issues that occur during the setup process.
