Linux Tools Setup

This project contains scripts and playbooks for setting up a Linux machine with various development tools and configurations.

What's Being Installed

This setup process will install and configure the following main components:

Miniconda3: A minimal installer for conda, an open-source package management system.

Ansible: An open-source automation tool for configuration management and task automation.

Python packages: Including pip, PyWinRM, and PyVmomi.

Git: Distributed version control system.

GitHub CLI: Command-line tool for interacting with GitHub.

Vim: Highly configurable text editor.

SSH key generation: For secure authentication.

Additionally, it sets up a development environment by cloning specific repositories and configuring the workspace.

   cd linux-tools-setup-initial

Make all scripts executable:

bash

   chmod +x ./ -R

Run the setup scripts in order:

bash

   ./0-go.sh
   ./1-go.sh
   sudo ./2-go.sh

Authenticate with GitHub:

bash

   gh auth login

Run the final setup script:

bash

   ./3-initial.sh

Navigate to the tools setup directory:

bash

   cd ~/dev/tools/local-tools/linux-tools-setup
