Bootstrap

A collection of bootstrap scripts for setting up tools and configurations I use across new machines, servers, and development environments.

The goal is simple: reduce the number of manual steps required after installing an operating system and make my setup reproducible.

Available Scripts

Script	Description
`install_nvim.sh`	Installs Neovim 0.11.7 and clones my Neovim configuration repository.
`install_yazi.sh`	Installs Yazi terminal file manager and its dependencies.

More scripts will be added over time.

Usage

To bootstrap a new machine and set up the b command tool, run the following:

curl -fsSL https://adityagupta.dev/b | bash

Once bootstrapped, you can run any installer script using the b command followed by its shortcut name. You can also chain multiple installations by separating their names with a comma:

b nvim
b yazi
b nvim,yazi

What the Neovim Installer Does

The Neovim bootstrap script:

Detects the Linux distribution.
Installs required dependencies (git, wget, tar).
Checks whether Neovim 0.11.7 is already installed.
Prompts before installing or upgrading Neovim.
Installs the official Neovim binary to /opt/nvim.
Creates a symlink at /usr/local/bin/nvim.
Clones my Neovim configuration into ~/.config/nvim.

What the Yazi Installer Does

The Yazi bootstrap script:

Detects the Linux distribution.
Prompts before installing or upgrading Yazi.
Installs Yazi:
- Arch Linux: Installs yazi via pacman.
- Debian / Ubuntu: Downloads the latest .deb release package from GitHub and installs it.
- Fedora: Enables the COPR repository (lihaohong/yazi) and installs yazi (initially skipping weak dependencies).
Subsequently installs the dependencies (ffmpeg, 7zip / p7zip-full, jq, poppler, fd / fd-find, ripgrep, fzf, zoxide, resvg, imagemagick) to make Yazi available quicker.
Configures a shell wrapper function y in ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc that allows changing directory on exit.

Supported distributions:

Arch Linux
Debian / Ubuntu
Fedora

Philosophy

These scripts are designed for my own systems first.

That means they may make assumptions about:

Preferred software choices
Directory layouts
Configuration locations
Existing infrastructure

The scripts are intentionally straightforward Bash scripts that can be inspected and modified before execution.

Future Plans

Potential additions include:

Development environment bootstrap
Workstation setup
Server provisioning
Dotfile installation
Container and virtualization tooling
Personal utilities

Security

Running scripts directly from the internet is convenient but should always be approached with caution.

If you do not trust the source, inspect the script before executing it:

curl -fsSL https://git.adityagupta.dev/sortedcord/bootstrap/raw/branch/master/bootstrap.sh
curl -fsSL https://git.adityagupta.dev/sortedcord/bootstrap/raw/branch/master/routes.sh

and review the contents before piping it into a shell.
