Operating System Initialization

Here are the important things I like to do on a brand new computer. Just follow the quickstart instructions, run a command, sit back, and relax as we do all the work for you!

For help debugging, go to src/README.md

Quickstart

For more detailed information, read the section titled "Getting Started".

Before you run, you will need:

  • Linux or MacOS on your computer (Currently, this app only works with MacOS)

Steps

  1. Open your terminal. From there, copy the following code in:
cd ~
rm .*shrc
rm .vimrc
rm .profile

Note: You may get a notice saying that "this file does not exist". That's fine -- the above code is there to remove the files, so if they don't exist, just continue.

  1. Download this repository as a ZIP file, and extract it to your home (~) directory.

Note: You must have all files extracted to your home directory or this will not work!

  1. To get started, type helpme and follow the instructions from there.

Getting started

Setup

To set up, open your terminal. By default, it should open at your home directory. You know you are in your home directory when there is a ~ anywhere on your line. If there isn't, type

cd ~

Then type

rm .zshrc

if you are on MacOS, and

rm .bashrc

if on Linux.

Note: If you recieve an error which looks something like this: no such file or directory: .zshrc (with .zshrc swapped out for .bashrc on Linux)

Also, type

rm .vimrc

Running the scripts

To get started, install the repository as a .zip file and extract it at your home directory (~). To get started with a human, type

helpme

and follow the instructions from there.

Note: this will not work if you do not extract to your home directory!

And yes, you can type balls.

Cleaning up

When you are done, go back into your home folder (~) if you aren't already there, and type

ncleanup

How the files are structured

The files are structured like a shell, i. e. starting at ~ and going down from there.
