Scripts

A bunch of configs, tools and install scripts I use on every machine I set up. This repo is named scripts mostly for historical reasons.

Installation

Arch Linux

Follow the instructions in install/arch/setup.txt to kick off the installation from the ISO and run make -C install.

MacOS

Give Terminal Full Disk Access and run the install/macos/install.sh script.

Post-installation

• On MacOS, codesign Alacritty by running codesign-alacritty and give it Full Disk Access and Developer Tools support by going to "System Settings" > "Privacy & Security" > "Full Disk Access" / "Developer Tools"
• On Arch Linux, edit config/linux/.xprofile and config/linux/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc to tweak settings related to the display and overall machine type
• Check health of a few Neovim plugins and make sure that the appropriate packages are installed:
  • nvim +checkhealth lazy
  • nvim +checkhealth mason
  • nvim +checkhealth conform
  • nvim +checkhealth to check health of everything at once

Biometrics on Arch Linux

• Enroll finger fprintd-enroll damien -f right-index-finger
• Edit /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 and add auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so to the top
• Repeat with whatever file is appropriate in /etc/pam.d/*

Lightdm on Arch Linux

Edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf config file and add the following:

[greeter]
