SiAAA - Customization

Terminal Customizations

Initial Setup

Windows
- Terminal of my choice : Windows Terminal
- You can download this from Microsoft Store
- With this you need to have some additional applications which will support Windows Terminal to achieve it's full potential but these are only required if you are using Windows
  - GWSL - XWindow Server for Windows
    - You can download it from Microsoft Store
  - WinSCP : Download portable version so as to invoke scp to transfer data
    - You can download it's portable version from : Official WebPage - WinSCP
    - Also, you can use SiAAA scripts created for host to do file transfer from Windows Terminal itself
- Features
  - SSH
  - Port Forwarding - Local, Remote and Dynamic
  - Inline SCP using SiAAA-Host script
  - XWindow Server support with GWSL
  - Themes and Customizations
  - Most Importantly - "IT'S FREE" 🥳🥳🥳👍
Linux
- Terminal of my choice : Alacritty or Konsole or Gnome
- You can choose any of the above, I generally use Konsole on KDE and Gnome on GNOME
- Because linux by-default supports X11 and SCP, so on that part we are covered
- We need to add some scripts to attain functionality like Terminus above
- Check out my GitHub reference : Lazy SSH for features like
  - Easy SSH
  - Easy Port Forwarding
  - Interactive SCP like WinSCP using SSHFS
- For themes, we can do similar customizations what we are going to do for VM like oh-my-zsh and tmux

Creating Shell Profile

Now on freshly installed VM (Ubuntu, I presume), we need to customize the shell

Before that will install some necessary kits

"Shell Profile"

Create a file called ".zsh_profile" and add these enteries to it

# =================================================================
# Aliases
# =================================================================

alias ll='ls -alh --color=always'
alias cls='tput clear reset'

# =================================================================
# Custom Functions
# =================================================================

apt-update()
{
    sudo apt clean -y;
    sudo apt autoclean -y;
    sudo apt remove -y;
    sudo apt autoremove -y;
    sudo apt update;
    sudo apt upgrade -y;
    sudo apt dist-upgrade -y;
    sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` -y
}

Once this is being created run : source ~/.zsh_profile
Now update your installation by typing : apt-update

Now let's install some important packages

sudo apt install -y net-tools iputils-ping wget curl python3-pip python3-venv screenfetch zsh tmux git gdebi openssh-server openjdk-14-jdk openjdk-14-jre aapt zipalign unzip bat

Recently I had some issues installing openjdk packages on Ubuntu Server, not sure why but there were several mismatch hashes.
To get through, I had to install java from linuxuprising. Use this only if you are not able to install openjdk-14-jdk and openjdk-14-jre from above command

To install Java on Ubuntu Server

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
apt-update # This will only work if you have set above .zsh_profile
sudo apt install oracle-java15-installer

java --version # Once Java is installed

This will install all the required pre-requisite packages
If you are using Ubuntu Server, then this step is not needed because SSH is by-default enabled, but just in case if you are setting this up on any other VM Guest then, just enable SSH on VM by typing : sudo systemctl start ssh and you need to enable it at boot so : sudo systemctl enable ssh
You can check SSH status as : sudo systemctl status ssh

Installing Shell Theme

oh-my-zsh 😍🥰

Installation is pretty simple

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

This will install "ZSH-THEME" and set your current shell to "ZSH"
My personal favourite themes are

ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES=( "xiong-chiamiov" "mortalscumbag" "dst" "trapd00r" "funky" "clean" "fino-time" "bureau" "dpoggi" "mikeh" "geoffgarside" "crcandy" "simonoff" "rkj-repos" "agnoster" "darkblood" "frisk" "nicoulaj" "duellj" "rkj" )

Just open ~/.zshrc and search for ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES and replace that line with above line. Also, ZSH_THEME is set to robbyrussell by default, change that to random and you will have a new shell everytime you hit the .zshrc file

REFERENCE : "Oh-My-ZSH"

zsh-autosuggestions 😍🥰
- Installation is simple. Once you have 'oh-my-zsh' installed, do
```
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
```
- Open ~/.zshrc file and find plugins and add as plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions)
- If you have any other plugins installed like I had git, then the final will look like : plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions)
  
  REFERENCE : "zsh-autosuggestions"
zsh-syntax-highlightning 😍🥰
- Installation is simple. Once you have 'oh-my-zsh' installed, do
```
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
```
- Open ~/.zshrc file and find plugins and add as plugins=(zsh-syntax-highlighting)
- If you have any other plugins installed like I had git, then the final will look like : plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)

Installing Rust based programs for awesome output

Steps:

# Installing program alternate to ls
# Download EXA from : https://github.com/ogham/exa/releases
unzip exa-linux-x86_64-0.8.0.zip
mkdir ~/.local/bin
mv exa-linux-x86_64 ~/.local/bin/exa
sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/exa /usr/bin/exa

# Installing program alternate to cat
# Docs : https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
sudo apt install bat -y

# Installing program alternate to ps
# Docs : https://github.com/dalance/procs
sudo snap install procs

Theming TMUX

TMUX is a terminal multiplexer which enhances your productivity by splitting up the terminal pane and even provide tabs from a single SSH session so that you don't have to create or do SSH if you wanted to test on one window and get the output on other
As from above pre-requisite installation tmux is already installed and you can run it directly by typing tmux on terminal but we need to customize it to look good, so let's theme it 😻😻
First create a new folder as : ~/.tmux

cd ~/.tmux and download tmux themes and plugins

"Nord Theme"

git clone https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-tmux.git

"TMUX-Power Theme"

git clone https://github.com/wfxr/tmux-power.git

"Tmux-Net-Speed"
- It's a plugin for "TMUX-Power Theme" which shows the upload and download speed
```
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-net-speed.git
```

All these should be in ~/.tmux folder

Create a new file called tmux.conf and add these

-> % cat .tmux/tmux.conf
# ============================================================================
# Prefix = <Cntrl+c>
#
# Command Mode : Prefix + :
# ------ Rename Current Window : :rename-window __name__
# OR
# ------ Rename : Prefix + ,
#
# Copy Mode : Prefix + [
# ------ Quit : q and rest all commands are like vim
# ------ Start Selection : Spacebar
# ------ Clear Selection : Esc
# ------ Copy Selection : Enter
# ------ Paste Selection : Prefix + ]
# ------ Search Forward and Backward : / and ?
# ------ Next Occurance Forward/Backward : n/N
#
# Panes :
# ------ Split Screen : Horizontal : (Prefix h) and Vertical : (Prefix v)
# ------ Move between Split Panes : Prefix Up, Down, Left, Right
# ------ Swap Split Panes : Prefix Shift+{, Shift+}
# ------ Zoom : Prefix + z
# ------ Resize Split Panes : Prefix + Cntrl(Hold) + Arrow_Keys
#
# Windows :
# ------ Create New Window : Prefix n
# ------ Move between windows : Shift+Left,Right
# ------ Swap Windows : Control+Left,Right

run-shell "$HOME/.tmux/tmux-net-speed/net-speed.tmux"

# Settings for Nord Theme
#run-shell "$HOME/.tmux/nord-tmux/nord.tmux"

I have added "help" at the top of the config file
I have 2 themes already added in the config file : "Tmux-Power" and "Nord Theme"
Depending on what you are using, comment the other one, like currently I am using "Tmux-Power" theme as per the config
Also, the images are emoji which you can change as per your wish. Make sure that your terminal supports emoji - "Terminus Does" 🥳🥳🥳👍

Final Touch

Update the file : .zsh_profile previously created as

-> % cat .zsh_profile

# =================================================================
# Startup Commands
# =================================================================

screenfetch
export DISPLAY="x.x.x.x:0.0"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"

# =================================================================
# Aliases
# =================================================================

alias ls='exa --color=always --color-scale -l'
alias ll='exa --color=always --color-scale -al'
alias cls='tput clear reset'
alias tmux='tmux -f $HOME/.tmux/tmux.conf'
alias cat='batcat'
alias pslist='procs'

# =================================================================
# Custom Functions
# =================================================================

apt-update()
{
  sudo apt clean -y;
  sudo apt autoclean -y;
  sudo apt remove -y;
  sudo apt autoremove -y;
  sudo apt update;
  sudo apt upgrade -y;
  sudo apt dist-upgrade -y;
  sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` -y
}

Replace the value of x.x.x.x from your IP Address, either Ethernet or WiFi
Then final step is to source this in .zshrc as : echo 'source ~/.zsh_profile' >> .zshrc
This will setup everything. Logout and login back and see the effects 😍🥰
Type : tmux and check whether you have the theme enabled
