This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.
Let’s begin.
First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Windows is really horrible system for developers and especially for devops. It doesn’t even have a usable terminal and shell, so working with command line is really pain in the ass. If you really don’t want to switch to any usable system (OS X, Linux, BSD…), then this guide should help you to setup somewhat reasonable environment – usable terminal, proper shell, ssh client, git and Sublime Text as a default editor for shell.
| # First install tmux | |
| brew install tmux | |
| # For mouse support (for switching panes and windows) | |
| # Only needed if you are using Terminal.app (iTerm has mouse support) | |
| Install http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php | |
| Then install https://bitheap.org/mouseterm/ | |
