Common Configurations for Linux

Install Common Packages

For Red Hat based systems:

sudo dnf install -y git gcc gcc-c++ llvm clang lldb make cmake tmux htop btop zsh neovim curl

For Arch based systems:

sudo pacman -Syu git gcc llvm clang lldb make cmake tmux htop btop zsh neovim curl

For Debian based systems:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git gcc g++ llvm clang lldb make cmake tmux htop btop zsh neovim curl

Set Up ZSH

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://install.ohmyz.sh/)"

This command will automatically install oh-my-zsh and set zsh as the default shell. After these are done, you will get into a zsh session. Then install the zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting plugins:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Next, edit the ~/.zshrc file:

plugins=(
  git
  zsh-autosuggestions
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

On my own opinion, I will also change the theme to candy and then set the HYPHEN_INSENSITIVE option to true:

ZSH_THEME="candy"
HYPHEN_INSENSITIVE="true"

I like the most simple locale settings, so I will also change locale to C.UTF-8. If this is my own device. If this machine is not mine, I will set this in my ~/.zshrc:

export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

TMUX Configuration

You can see the TMUX help document by pressing Ctrl + B (abbrev. C-b) and then ?.

By default, TMUX have no mouse support. You can enable it temporarily by pressing C-b and then : to enter the command mode, then type set -g mouse on and press Enter.

If you want to enable mouse support permanently, you can add the following line to your ~/.tmux.conf:

set -g mouse on
