Bootstrap Development Environment

Usage

1. Download and unpack this file.
2. Run sudo bash ./bootstrap_devenv.sh (for debugging purposes, you may want to append --debug)
3. If not already working, in order to display vim's status line special characters, change the terminal's default font to one that is compatible.

Notice

This script is intended to run only on linux distributions that use either the Aptitude package manager and the Gnome Terminal. So far it has been tested on fresh installs of the distributions listed below and it might not work accordingly elsewhere.

Distribution	Version	Architecture
Mint	17	x64
Lubuntu	14.04	x32
Ubuntu	14.04.1	x64
