Simple Collab Server Setup

Posted on | In | | Visitors
To collaborate with folks on a shared server, some simplistic setups are noted down here. This case applies for people who prefer zsh to bash, and you are the only one using zsh on the machine.

Zsh Installations

Install zsh:

sudo apt install zsh

Install oh-my-zsh:

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

Note that you probably don’t want to set zsh as the default shell.

TMux Configuration

Set the zsh as the default shell in tmux. Add the following line to ~/.tmux.conf:

set-option -g default-shell /bin/zsh

Miniconda Installation

mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
rm -rf ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh

Plug-ins

Zsh-Syntax-Highlighting

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

Then add zsh-syntax-highlighting to the ~/.zshrc:

plugins=(git zsh-syntax-highlighting)

Auto-Suggestion

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

Then add zsh-autosuggestions to the ~/.zshrc:

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