Instructions for GNU/Linux?

[i-oliva]

Hi, I've seen the instructions section and you offer instructions for Windows/OSX... Is there any way Linux users can install this "minimal distro"? thanks!

Some of these pieces are OSX only, but the bulk of the features are cross platform.

Neovim

I would start with installing Neovim for your distro. Then, you can use the the config/nvim/init.vim file for your own Neovim setup. Once it's copied to your Neovim config, save it and source it.

You will likely have to install Python 3 and the Python 3/Neovim plugin. Something like this (depending on your distro).

sudo apt-get install python-neovim
sudo apt-get install python3-neovim

Then you should be able to open up Neovim and run

:PlugInstall
:UpdateRemotePlugins

This should get Neovim up and running.

Tmux

Google how to install tmux for your distro. It could be something like

sudo apt-get install tmux

or

yum install tmux

or you could install from source. Then you can copy tmux/tmux.conf.symlink into wherever your OS's tmux.conf file is. Then save it, and source the file.

That gets you tmux + Neovim, which is the bulk of Jarvis.

Misc

Other than that, many of the "minimal" aspects of Jarvis can be recreated via your terminal. I use the Oceanic Next color scheme and ports of it are available in several different terminals/editors.

The last main piece is to tweak your header/toolbar or any other menu that your OS shows to be hidden/minimal to only show the most important info. There are a lot of variations/tools to do this, and I would recommend a community like https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ to get some ideas of how to customize your environment. Best of luck!

I forgot another key piece. Zsh works on linux as well. So you can follow the linux install instructions on there and then use the config file from zsh/zshrc.symlink to copy to your OS's .zshrc file.

Don't forget to install the awesome Spaceship Prompt to get an awesome prompt for your zsh setup!
