Install NvChad on School Computers

42chad.md

ACHTUNG! WORK IN PROGRESS, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T RUN THE SCRIPT IN COMMENTS

Install rust on school computer

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Download neovim binaries and add it to your PATH

wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.9.1/nvim-linux64.tar.gz

• Add it to your PATH, I choose to extract it in this location

export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/nvim-linux64/bin:$PATH

Download nodejs and npm and put it in your PATH

go to https://nodejs.org/en/download and Download the Linux Binaries (x64) We prepend instead of appeand to trick the system into using the newer node and npm not the school PC one. ( I know security risk but yeah....) add this to your ~/.zshrc (replace the path with yours)

export PATH="/absolute/path/to/nodejs/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/absolute/path/to/nodejs/lib/node_modules/npm/bin:$PATH"

then source your zshrc

source ~/.zshrc 

Install NvChad

git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim --depth 1 && nvim

IN CASE you have already configs at ~/.config/nvim just remove them or make a backup and then remove them Run nvim , let it do its thing and close it For hints you can see the cheatsheet with leader(space) + c h

Install fonts (required for icons)

• Download NerdFont UbuntuMonoNerdFontMono or other https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

• mv the *.ttf files into your ~/.fonts

# from your extracted fonts folder
mv *.ttf ~/.fonts

• Set whatever terminal to use that font , in alacritty for example:

# ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
font:
 normal:
  family: "UbuntuMonoNerdFontMono"

ripgrep (needed for Telescope)

• if you installed rust successfully you should be able to :

  cargo install ripgrep

• this is what my zshrc looks like after all this ride!

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin/node-v18.12.1-linux-x64/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
# I just manually added nvim download to this folder
export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/nvim-linux64/bin:$PATH

Install script -
Remember to set your terminal font to JetBrains one or it wont show the icons
In settings of your ubuntu terminal manually ( profile) or alacritty in the config file for example

~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
font:
 normal:
  family: "JetBrainsMono"

#!/bin/bash

echo "#Nv Chad Deps" >> ~/.zshrc 

# if $HOME/.config/nvim exists, make a backup and delete it 
if [ -d "$HOME/.config/nvim" ]; then
	echo "nvim folder exists, backing up and deleting"
	mv $HOME/.config/nvim $HOME/.config/old_nvim.bak
fi

echo "42 NvChad INSTALL"
