Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/seshagiriprabhu/system_Scripts.git

Setting up zsh

Oh-my-zsh

oh-my-zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your ZSH configuration. Thanks to robbyrussel for maintaining the repository

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

To install custom plugins for ZSH

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/
git submodule update --init

I have included a copy of my zshrc in this repo. You can copy it into your home folder

cp zshrc ~/.zshrc

I have made litte changes in arvindsrajtheme.zsh, if you don't like the default one, you could use my modified one:

cp arvindsraj.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/   

You can choose a theme from ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes and update in the ~/.zshrc

Install auto suggestions and highlight

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

You could make /usr/bin/zsh as your default shell of terminal (make changes in the profile of your terminal)

Setting up vim

Setting up Neobundle

NeoBundle is a Vim plugin manager.

mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/neobundle.vim

Copy the vimrc file from this repo to home folder.

cp vimrc ~/.vimrc

open vim and type y to install the plugins mentioned in the vimrc.

Install YouCompleteMe

An autocompleter for vim. Lets compile it. You may have to install a dependency cmake,

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential python-dev python3-dev vim-nox
cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
python3 install.py --all --verbose

Copy ycm_extra_conf.py to your home folder to enable autocompleter.

cp ycm_extra_conf.py ~/.ycm_extra_conf.py

Setting up pythonrc

Copy pythonrc file to your home directory not to display all the unwanted welcome messages upon opening a python interactive shell.

cp pythonrc ~/.pythonrc
