CentOS Out-of-the-Box Experience

Note: Cool thing about Fedora is that most dev-centric packages are already installed :)

Another one: These commands are exclusively tested out on Fedora, but probably are transferable to RHEL and CentOS as well.

Convenience script

Out of the box experience

Static file: /static/scripts/fedora-oobe.sh

⚠️ This OOBE is now highly opinionated since I am daily driving it. Please refer to the list of tasks that will be executed when running this script.

sudo dnf install -y curl && curl -O https://script.aaanh.app/static/scripts/fedora-oobe.sh && bash ./fedora-oobe.sh

Actions performed

Run dnf update
Install zsh, wget, git, neovim, tmux
Change default shell to zsh and install oh-my-zsh
Install node version manager (nvm)
Install Golang using 3rd party script
Install Rust using official rustup toolchain
Install Github CLI gh
Install Docker Engine
Install Homebrew package manager
Install Visual Studio Code
Install a Powerline font called Fantasque Sans Mono

Development tools

It is recommended to run the OOBE script first to get the dependencies.

Static file: /static/scripts/fedora-dev-tools.sh

curl https://script.aaanh.app/static/scripts/fedora-dev-tools.sh | bash

Set up `zsh`

Change default shell using usermod instead because chsh is not installed by default

sudo usermod -s /usr/bin/zsh "$(whoami)"
git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git "$HOME/.zsh-syntax-highlighting" --depth 1
echo "source $HOME/.zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
sed -i 's/robbyrussell/flazz/g' ~/.zshrc

Set up `vim`

git clone https://github.com/aaanh/vimrc ~/.vim_runtime && cd ~/.vim_runtime && ./install_awesome_vimrc.sh
