Provide 30 GB of disk space, install will take 15 GB.
To see what we are dealing with here:
cat /etc/debian_version
It's Debian Buster 11.4.
And what is already installed:
apt list --installed
Set up git config:
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
Confirm:
git config --list
Create SSH key:
ls -al ~/.ssh
# Lists the files in your .ssh directory, if they exist
If none exist:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
Show contents of public SSH key to copy to add to web git service:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Add SSH key to webservice and then clone repo using SSH in the area you want it on your computer (for example create a Version Controlled folder in your home directory):
e.g. with Gitlab
git clone git@gitlab.com:YOURGITUSERNAME/YOURREPO.git
Add public key to any servers you need to access:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub YOURUSERNAMEE@SERVERIPADDRESS
Let's install VimPlug:
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
Then copy .vimrc which I store in a git repository to home folder:
e.g. navigate to folder and then
cp .vimrc ~/
And then install the plug ins from within Vim by typing:
:PlugInstall
Copy .bashrc from git repo.
e.g. navigate to folder and then
cp .bashrc ~/
Using this method http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html to ensure we have the latest version (didn't check the version in the repository but the version in stretch caused me some trouble with datatool:
Download the latest tar.gz:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html
Use ChromeOS files app to copy to the Linux container and back in the terminal unpack:
tar -xzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz
cd into the unpacked folder and:
sudo ./install-tl (sudo seems to be necessary on Pixelbook)
The install will take a long time.
When complete there will be a prompt to add to PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH. Test by temporarily adding to path:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH (check that this path is correct)
... and test that pdflatex --version works. If it does then add the path to the .bashrc file:
cd
vim .bashrc place the line at the end of the file along with:
MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/doc/man
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/doc/info
Then save and quit Vim.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
The version in the repo is too old so:
Install the dependencies necessary to add a new repository over HTTPS:
sudo apt install dirmngr apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common gnupg2
Enable the CRAN repository and add the CRAN GPG key to your system by running the following commands:
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key '95C0FAF38DB3CCAD0C080A7BDC78B2DDEABC47B7'
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian bullseye-cran40/'
sudo apt update
Then install R:
sudo apt install r-base r-base-dev
Check the installed version if you wish:
R --version
Then install stuff required the packages we will install.
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev libgdal-dev libproj-dev xorg libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libcairo2-dev libudunits2-dev libv8-dev libprotobuf-dev libjq-dev protobuf-compiler cmake
Enter R as a superuser in interactive mode:
sudo R
Let's install the packages we need in one command:
```install.packages(c("ggplot2","tidyverse","knitr","ggthemes","scales","ggmap","plotly","ggfortify","leaflet","leaflet.extras","rgdal","forecast","treemapify","dbscan","survival","googleVis","rmarkdown","flexdashboard","highcharter","devtools","maptools","mapview","treemap","networkD3","visNetwork","DiagrammeR","DT","ggcorrplot","Hmisc","anomalize", "fpp2", "h2o", "sweep", "timetk", "xgboost", "prophet", "survminer","ggwordcloud", "ggsn", "formattable", "IMD", "car", "maps", "this.path", "triangle", "fuzzyjoin"))`````
This will take a while.
After it completes, to enable mapshot to work (untested but necessary on MacOS):
webshot::install_phantomjs()
And then for ggmap
register_google(key = "[your key]", write = TRUE) # get key from Google Cloud Console, APIs & Services > Credentials
q() to exit R
Download the deb:
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
sudo dpkg -i DEB
where DEB is the path to the downloaded deb.
This failed at this point for me so:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
again which worked fine.
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-pandas
To convert xlsx files to csv easily:
sudo apt-get install xlsx2csv
Download deb file: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases
Copy into Linux
sudo dpkg -i DEB
where DEB is the path to the downloaded deb.
sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
Sometimes it's nice to have an alternative to Vim...
https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html
Install the GPG key:
wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add stable channel:
echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
Update sources and install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text
It's a bit of a pain having to flip back and forth to a browser to view compiled pdfs. I prefer to use Zathura from the terminal or from Vim, especially because it uses Vim key bindings.
sudo apt-get install zathura
To launch an image viewer from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install feh
To extract common compression format:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
For FTP:
sudo apt-get install filezilla
To manage chd files:
sudo apt install -y --no-install-recommends mame-tool
for more stable connections to remote servers:
sudo apt install -y mosh
To OCR PDFs example: ocrmypdf -l eng input.pdf output.pdf
sudo apt install -y ocrmypdf
For flexible tools to rename file in BASH:
sudo apt install -y rename
To use multiple course in bash scripts:
sudo apt install -y parallel
