Basic setup for JS development environment

Ubuntu

Oh-my-zsh

Oh My Zsh is a delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes bundled with a ton of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes, and a few things that make you shout...

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install -y git zsh curl jq
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
# it will ask for your session password

To make this change stick, restart your laptop :

sudo reboot

Git

First, if you have not already done so, create a new account on github

Open a new Terminal and type or use Ctrl + Shift+ V to paste following line

sudo apt-get install -y git

We will need to generate an ssh key pair to link your github account to your local machine

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_github_email@example.com"

Press enter to leave the default configuration and do not enter a password when prompted Next add key to ssh-agent

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Copy the content of your public key to the clipboard like this

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Other whay
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # and copy the content

Then connect to your Github account, got to Settings > SSH and GPG keys > New SSH key Give a title and paste your public key in key field, then click on Add ssh key

After try

ssh -T git@github.com
It should be return
# Hi --------! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access

Vscode

Vscode is an open source text editor, thanks to its flexibility and plugins, it will be very useful for application development download .deb package here and type it to install

sudo apt install ./path/to_file.deb

In order to start vscode from the command line, open vscode and press CTRL + SHIFT + P in the dialog box that opens type shell and ENTER to install the configuration

Next go to plugin tab and install following plugins Plugins

• ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-Native snippets
• HTML Snippets
• Indent-rainbow

Nvm

Nvm is Node Version Manager, It is thanks to him that we will be able to easily install and use several versions of Node.JS

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash

Exit your shell and reopen a window, then type nvm and a command list should appear, if you have an error message like this zsh: command not found: nvm open the .zshrc file like thiscode ~/.zshrc then add the following configuration at the end of the file

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

Now you can install the latest node version this way: nvm install node it will change automatically the default node version otherwise type nvm use node or nvm use 11.0.1 for a given version.

now type node -v it will return v 11.0.1

Mysql

MySQL is an open-source database management system, commonly installed as part of the popular LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack. It uses a relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) to manage its data.

sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation

You will then need to remove the root user by default otherwise you should use sudo to access mysql connect to mysql with the identifiers you have just created

sudo mysql -u root -p

Then in mysql shell

drop user 'root'@'localhost';
CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_i_want';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
exit

You can now you connect to mysql shell without sudo command

mysql -u root -p
