This is a repo which contains the config files and several scripts I tend to use to help me in my linux environments.
When installing things, you should just be able to run install.sh. It should do the trick for installing all of the needed applications for the specified environment type.
You may need to run chmod +x on install.sh in order to run the script.
If this is a personal computer and it does not contain flatpak, you will need to manually setup flatpak and then run the installation again.
Note that the expectation is that this repo will be in the home directory of the current user. If it is not, the installation may fail.
Once you start up tmux for the first time, make sure to enter ctrl+a+I in a tmux session to install the tmux plugins.
It can be hard and time consuming to setup one's applications and environment across multiple computers. This script and these configs allow me to install the base level of the environment which can then be tinkered with from there.
The repo also acts as a secondary copy of my configs which allows me to backup my configs. If something were to happen to my computer, this allows for an easier setup for new environments.
These dotfiles are meant to be run in bash. As such they are meant to be run on a unix system and not Windows.
