3. Install VirtualBox and create your basic VM using this guide
-
Open a new terminal window and type
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p. The last line should say that Unity 3D is not supported: "No". It should say yes to allow 3D acceleration, which will boost the VM's graphic abilities. -
Install tools for compiling kernel modules before installing the Guest Additions:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -
Reboot
-
Install required packages for building the kernel modules:
sudo apt install build-essential module-assistant dkms -
Prepare the system to build kernel modules:
sudo m-a prepare -
The Guess Additions can now be installed. In the VirtualBox menu, 'Select Devices' > 'Insert Guest Additions CD image'. Then click 'Run' when prompted.
-
Shut the VM off
-
In the VM display settings, allocate at least 3/4 of video memory, and enable 3D acceleration:
- Restart your VM. A massive graphic speed improvement should be noticed. Run
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -pagain to see that Unity 3D is now supported: "Yes".
Do this step after having installed the guest additions:
-
enable Devices > Shared Clipboard > Bidirectional
-
run this this command:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms -
reboot the vm
Install git:
sudo apt-get install git
$ git config --global user.name "Adamouization"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
git config --list
Install tig, a text-mode interface for git:
sudo apt-get tig
or
sudo dnf install tig
sudo apt-get install vim
git config --global core.editor "vim"
export GIT_EDITOR=vim
Add the VIM configuration file to the home directory: cp /home/ajaamour/Projects/VmConfigurations/vim_configuration/.vimrc ~
sudo apt-get install python
You can also install a better version of the REPL:
sudo apt-get install ipython
To run it, type ipython instead of using python
sudo apt-get install default-jre
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
10. Install JetBrains IDEs
Download the IDEs from here:
Untar the .tar.gz file directly from the ~/Download directory to the directory where you wish to install e.g. in your ~/Applications directory (must support executables), otherwise the recommended installation location according to the filesystem hierarchy standard (FHS) is /opt:
sudo tar -xvfz pycharm-*.tar.gz -C /opt/
Start running the application by going to the bin directory and running pycharm.sh:
cd /opt/pycharm-*/bin
sh pycharm.sh &
Repeat this process for each .tar.gz file you downloaded.
More info here
Once the installation is finished, you can delete the .tar.gz file: rm -rf pycharm-*.tar.gz
11. Install TMUX
sudo apt-get install tmux
Move the .tmux.conf file to the home directory for custom settings: cp /home/ajaamour/Projects/VmConfigurations/tmux_configuration/.tmux.conf ~
Use this script to automatically launch tmux with vertically split windows. You'll first need to copy the bash script to your desired location, then give the appropriate permissions. Then you can run it any time:
cp /home/ajaamour/Projects/VmConfigurations/bash_scripts/tmux_setup ~
chmod x tmux_setup.sh
./tmux_setup.sh
The script opens a pane with htop instead of top, so be sure to have it installed first (otherwise change the command in the script from top to htop):
sudo apt-get install htop
