#+TITLE: Windows Subsystem for Linux Setup #+AUTHOR: James Blair #+EMAIL: mail@jamesblair.net #+DATE: 1st September 2019 * Update and install packages To get started we ensure the package manager is up to date. #+NAME: Update system packages #+BEGIN_SRC shell sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: Update system packages Next we install a series of standard packages that form part of our workflow or are dependencies for other tools in our environment. #+NAME: Install standard packages #+BEGIN_SRC shell sudo apt-get install -y git curl wget shell locales xclip tmux net-tools less \ software-properties-common htop wget apt-transport-https ca-certificates #+END_SRC We use [[https://pandoc.org/][pandoc]] for documentation export from spacemacs. #+NAME: Install pandoc #+BEGIN_SRC shell curl -L -O https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.7.3/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i /tmp/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb #+END_SRC For additional package management we use node. The code below installs node ~12~. #+NAME: Install node #+BEGIN_SRC shell sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs #+END_SRC For managing secrets we use [[https://bitwarden.com/][bitwarden]] which provides a great [[https://github.com/bitwarden/cli][cli utility]]. #+NAME: Install bitwarden and login #+BEGIN_SRC shell export account=[BITWARDEN_ACCOUNT] sudo npm install -g @bitwarden/cli bw login $account #+END_SRC For working with google cloud platform we use the [[https://cloud.google.com/sdk/][GCP SDK]], which provides our cli tools. #+NAME: Install google cloud sdk #+BEGIN_SRC shell # Add the Cloud SDK distribution URI as a package source: echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list # Import the Google Cloud public key: curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add - # Update and install the Cloud SDK: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk #+END_SRC For cloud infrastructure deployments we use [[https://www.terraform.io/][terraforms]]. #+NAME: Install hashicorp terraforms #+BEGIN_SRC shell # Download the binary wget 'https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.9/terraform_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip' # Unzip it unzip *.zip # Move the binary to path sudo mv terraform /usr/bin/ # Clean up rm *amd64.zip #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: | Archive: | terraform_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip | | inflating: | terraform | For ad-hoc system administration we use ansible #+NAME: Install ansible #+BEGIN_SRC shell sudo yum install -y ansible #+END_SRC * Install spacemacs A key component in our environment is spacemacs. The section below will setup version ~27.0.50~ of emacs and then spacemacs on top. #+NAME: Clone the emacs repository #+BEGIN_SRC tmate git clone -b stable --depth=1 https://github.com/ii/emacs #+END_SRC #+NAME: Install dependencies #+BEGIN_SRC tmate sudo apt-get install autoconf make gcc texinfo libgtk-3-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libtiff5-dev libgnutls28-dev libncurses5-dev #+END_SRC #+NAME: Compile and install emacs #+BEGIN_SRC tmate cd /emacs/ ./autogen.sh ./configure.sh make sudo make install #+END_SRC After compiling and installing emacs we should verify that version ~27.0.50~ is installed. #+BEGIN_SRC tmate emacs --version #+END_SRC * Setup a local emacs pacakge mirror To save time we will setup a local mirror for all the LISP files that we need as part of spacemacs. Depending on your machine and internet connection it may take some time to download, configure and compile. #+NAME: Setup local emacs elpa mirror #+BEGIN_SRC tmate sudo git clone --depth 1 -b stable https:/github.com/ii/elpa-mirror /usr/local/elpa-mirror #+END_SRC Setup spacemacs within our home folder. #+BEGIN_SRC tmate git clone --depth 1 -b stable --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ii/spacemacs.git ~/.emacs.d ln -sf ~/.emacs.d/private/local/dot-spacemacs/.spacemacs ~/.spacemacs emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el #+END_SRC * Setup environment dotfiles Within wsl we can use .dotfiles to further customise our environment. The script below restores my versions of key dotfiles automatically. #+NAME: Clone and restore the dotfiles #+BEGIN_SRC tmate git clone ssh://git@gitlab.jamma.life:2224/jmhbnz/tooling.git cd /tooling/ mv * ~/ #+END_SRC
