This page is intended as a (non comprehensive) list of things I have to install on every fresh linux installation.

SSH

Add eval `ssh-agent -s` to .profile to start a ssh-agent session.

Programming Languages

Golang

TODO(Farid): What should I do if I want several versions of golang? (Maybe something with .env and direnv).

$GOPATH: $HOME/.local/share/go
$GOROOT: /usr/share/go

Ruby

Installing ruby-installer

curl asdfasdf

Environment Variables

$GEM_HOME: Set it to the directory where you want to store the ruby gems.
$RUBIES_DIR: This one has nothing to do with ruby-installer, but I use it to store the rubies directory (where ruby-installer saves the different version of ruby in your computer, by default is $HOME/.rubies). I set it to $HOME/.local/share/rubies

Ruby Installation

ruby-installer

Node

NVM

Node version manager.

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/nvm" && (
  git clone https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git "$NVM_DIR"
  cd "$NVM_DIR"
  git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags --match "v[0-9]*" $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)`
) && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

then

nvm install node
