1. Follow instructions on zsh wiki

2. Follow instructions on ohmyzsh wiki

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

1. $ git clone https://github.com/DukeOfEtiquette/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles

2. $ mkdir -p ~/screenshots

Dunst

NOTE

For a new user, you must run the oh-my-zsh and dircolors install before running this installDotfiles.sh!

For this example, let us assume we are adding a new user named spare

1. Create the user: sudo adduser spare

2. Add to sudo group: sudo usermod -a -G sudo spare

3. Log into new user: su - spare

4. Install oh-my-zsh for user

   • $ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

5. Install dircolors for user

   • mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share && ( cd /tmp/LS_COLORS && sh install.sh )

6. Clone this repo

   • $ git clone https://github.com/DukeOfEtiquette/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles

7. Install dotfiles

   • $ ./installDotfiles.sh && source ~/.zshrc

For this example, let us assume the following old and new user names:

• old user name: alpha
• new user name: beta

1. Update user's name

   • $ sudo usermod -l beta alpha

2. Update user's group name

   • $ sudo groupmod --new-name beta alpha

For this example, let us assume we are deleting the user named spare

1. Ensure you are logged into a user that is not the one intended for removal

2. Kill running processes: $ sudo killall -u spare

3. Delete and remove home directory: $ sudo userdel -r spare
