Ubuntu Setup

Setup Desktop in Ubuntu Server

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

ToDo

• Install zoxide instead

Setup Shell and Prompt

1. Install Dependencies pacstall, build-essential, etc

Pacstall

An AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pacstall.dev/q/install || wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/install -O -)"

# install dependencies, zsh, fzf, starship, etc.
sudo apt install zsh fzf build-essential
pacstall -I cmake-deb

2. Change Default Shell

chsh -s /bin/zsh

3. Helix (Editor) (Optional)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maveonair/helix-editor
sudo apt update
sudo apt install helix

Setup Helix

4. Setup Rust Environment

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

5. Starship (shell prompt)

Warning

Since using snap to install starship the ~/.config/starship.toml won’t work, so here using cargo instead.

# use cargo instead of snap
cargo install starship --locked

Starship Configuration is inside this article

6. Zoxide (autojump like)

cargo install zoxide --locked
# or
pacstall -I zoxide-deb

7. Zinit (zsh plugin manager)

bash -c "$(curl --fail --show-error --silent --location https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit/HEAD/scripts/install.sh)"

install zinit

8. ZshRC
