#+title: Instructions

** information :info:

This org document is a list of instructions on how to install the whole setup of my personal system, including installation of standalone programs.

** installing fedora minimal with btrfs snapshots (snapper)

this sections assumes that you know how to use sway (window manager), neovim (text editor), basic terminal shell commands, burn an iso to disk, as well as using the anaconda installer.

get the os image (Fedora Everything) from here https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/ and burn it to your usb/other.

*** verifying the iso file
1. Download the checksum file (from https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/) into the same directory as the image you downloaded.

2. Import Fedora's GPG key(s)

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
#+END_SRC

3. Verify the CHECKSUM file is valid

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg *-CHECKSUM
#+END_SRC

4. Verify the checksum matches

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
#+END_SRC

*** installing fedora and setting up btrfs with snapshots

differences/notes before continuing with the installation:

1. some dependencies aren't available with 'fedora custom operating system'. before installing snapper install these packages:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sudo dnf install neovim sway firefox locate git bzip2
#+END_SRC

- ~neovim~: a text editor to edit files
- ~firefox~: a browser to follow along guide
- ~locate~, ~git~, ~bzip2~: missing dependencies not included in the guide.

2. software selection will be =fedora custom operating system=

boot your fedora installer media and follow this guide, make sure to boot with EUFI mode:
https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-38-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support/
or for full disk encryption
https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-38-with-full-disk-encryption-snapshot-and-rollback-support/

** how to make new user and add to wheel

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# make a user and add to the wheel group
useradd -m -g wheel user_name
# set a password
passwd user_name
#+END_SRC

** prerequisites

for building/installing packages, also some dependencies for doomemacs, and zsh.

#+BEGIN_SRC sh

#+END_SRC

** installing dotfiles

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# getting dotfiles
git clone https://gitea.bubbletea.dev/cho/dotfiles ~/.dots

cp -rv ~/.dots/home/default/.* ~/

# or using stow
# make sure you make directories you don't want as symlinks
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mkdir -p ~/.config
mkdir -p ~/.config/shell
mkdir -p ~/.config/mpd
mkdir -p ~/.config/zsh
mkdir -p ~/.config/newsboat
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim

cd ~/.dots/home/ && stow default --target=$HOME/
#+END_SRC

*** how to unstow dotfiles

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
cd ~/.dots/home/ && stow -D default --target=$HOME/
#+END_SRC

** setting up rpmfusion

from https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# rpmfusion
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf groupupdate core

# multimedia
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video

#amd
sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
sudo dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

#dvd
sudo dnf install rpmfusion-free-release-tainted
sudo dnf install libdvdcss

# non-free firmware
sudo dnf install rpmfusion-nonfree-release-tainted
sudo dnf --repo=rpmfusion-nonfree-tainted install "*-firmware"
#+END_SRC

** installing dnf packages

this will install programs, as well as (99% of) dependencies of shell scripts and configuration included within lf (file manager)
the other dependency not included in packages.txt is `pup` (included in a section below)

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sudo dnf install -y $(cat ~/.dots/packages.txt)
#+END_SRC

** installing swayfx (window manager)

#+begin_src sh
sudo dnf copr enable swayfx/swayfx
sudo dnf install
#+end_src

** configuring sudoers

Allow wheel users to sudo with password and allow several system commands
(like `shutdown` to run without password).

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" >/etc/sudoers.d/00-wheel-can-sudo
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown,/usr/bin/reboot,/usr/bin/systemctl suspend,/usr/bin/wifi-menu,/usr/bin/mount,/usr/bin/umount,/usr/bin/dnf update,/usr/bin/dnf update -y,/usr/bin/dnf upgrade,/usr/bin/dnf upgrade,/usr/bin/dnf makecache,/usr/bin/dnf makecache -y,/usr/bin/loadkeys" >/etc/sudoers.d/01-cmds-without-password
echo "Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nvim" >/etc/sudoers.d/02-visudo-editor
#+END_SRC

** Make zsh the default shell for the user.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
name=$USER
chsh -s /bin/zsh "$name" >/dev/null 2>&1
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.cache/zsh/"
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.config/abook/"
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.config/mpd/playlists/"
#+END_SRC

at this point, you should logout and login again to set the variables.

** librewolf (browser)
