    ## Vim (build from source)

    If you run into trouble, see Vim’s [official website](http://www.vim.org/git.php), the [installation wiki](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Building_Vim), [this](https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/10817/how-can-i-get-a-newer-version-of-vim-on-ubuntu/10827#10827) StackExchange answer, Building [Vim from source](https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Building-Vim-from-source), and the [`INSTALL.md` instructions](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/src/INSTALL).

    Follow these instructions to upgrade to the latest version of Vim by building the package from source. Building from source is the best (and most secure) way to get the latest version of Vim. Although many Linux operating systems come with Vim, it's usually at least a few versions behind, and they don't update it often.

    1. Install all the prerequisite libraries:
    ```
    sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev python3-dev ruby-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libperl-dev git
    ```shell
    sudo apt install -y libncurses5-dev libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev ruby-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libperl-dev git
    ```

    2. Remove any existing installations of Vim (and associated packages):
    ```
    ```shell
    sudo apt remove vim vim-runtime gvim vim-tiny vim-common vim-gui-common vim-nox
    ```

    3. Download the Vim source files to your home directory:
    ```
    ```shell
    cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git && cd vim
    ```

    4. Configure the Vim source files to your liking:
    ```
    ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-multibyte --enable-rubyinterp=yes --enable-python3interp=yes --with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir) --enable-perlinterp=yes --enable-luainterp=yes --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-cscope
    ```

    ```
    ```shell
    ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-multibyte --enable-rubyinterp=yes --enable-python3interp=yes --with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir) --enable-perlinterp=yes --enable-luainterp=yes --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-cscope
    ```
    Or edit the make file in `src`.
    5. Install Vim with `checkinstall`:
    ```

    ```shell
    sudo apt install checkinstall
    cd ~/vim
    sudo checkinstall
    ```

    6. Check to make sure you installed Vim successfully:
    ```
    ```shell
    vim --version
    ```

    ## Docker

    See [Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/), [Run the Docker daemon as a non-root user (Rootless mode)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/), then [Install the Compose standalone](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/other/).

    ```shell
    # Uninstall old versions
    sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

    sudo apt-get update

    # Install latest from repo
    sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

    echo \
    "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
    $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null


    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

    # Post installation steps
    sudo groupadd docker
    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    # Log out, then back in
    newgrp docker

    # Start Docker on boot
    sudo systemctl enable docker.service
    sudo systemctl enable containerd.service
    ```

    If the above doesn’t work, use this:
    ```shell
    sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` test"
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install docker-ce
    ```

    ### Rootless Docker

    See [Run the Docker daemon as a non-root user (Rootless mode)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/) for tips, troubleshooting, and best practices.

    ```shell
    # Disable system-wide Docker if ir's already running
    sudo systemctl disable --now docker.service docker.socket

    # If you installed Docker 20.10 or later with RPM/DEB packages, you should have dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh in /usr/bin.
    dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
    export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

    # If the script isn't there, you can install in manually:
    sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce-rootless-extras
    ```

    ### Compose standalone

    ## Oh My Git

    ### Install fonts

    Before you can use Oh My Git, you need to install the terminal fonts it uses.
    1. Download the [terminal fonts](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts): `git clone [email protected]:gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts.git`
    2. Copy all the fonts from `./build` directory to `~/.fonts` directory
    3. Copy all the font maps (all `*.sh` files) from `./build` directory to `~/.fonts` directory
    4. Run `fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts` to let freetype2 know of those fonts
    5. Customize the configuration file `./config/10-symbols.conf` replacing `PragmataPro` with the name of the font you want to use in the terminal (I will add more fonts in the future so that this step could be skippable)
    6. Copy the above configuration file to `~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d` directory
    7. Source the font maps (`source ~/.fonts/*.sh`) in your shell startup script (eg. `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`)

    ### Install Oh My Git

    ```shell
    git clone https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git.git ~/.oh-my-git && echo source ~/.oh-my-git/prompt.sh >> ~/.zshrc
    ```

    ### Install for ZSH

    ```shell
    antigen use oh-my-zsh
    antigen bundle arialdomartini/oh-my-git
    antigen theme arialdomartini/oh-my-git-themes oppa-lana-style
    ```


    ## Vim (build from source)

    If you run into trouble, see Vim’s [official website](http://www.vim.org/git.php), the [installation wiki](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Building_Vim), [this](https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/10817/how-can-i-get-a-newer-version-of-vim-on-ubuntu/10827#10827) StackExchange answer, Building [Vim from source](https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Building-Vim-from-source), and the [`INSTALL.md` instructions](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/src/INSTALL).

    See https://github.com/akrawchyk/awesome-vim for tips, resources, and tools.

    ### Build Vim from source

Although many Linux operating systems come with Vim, it's usually at least a few versions behind, and they don't update it often.

    ```

    For more information on building Vim from source, see [Vim: Compiling How To](http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm).
    ### Tips
    - Make sure to install the silver searcher tool if you're using the [fzs plugin](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) for Vim: `
    apt-get install silversearcher-ag.

    ### Shortcuts
    - Deleting
    - To delete a single line, navigate to the line, then type `dd` in *normal mode*.
    - To delete multiple lines, navigate to the first line you want to delete, then type `dd` + the number of lines to delete. For example, to delete 3 lines, type `dd3`.
    - To delete all lines, type `:%d` in normal mode.
    - To delete a range of lines by line number, type `:[start_line],[end_line]d`. For example, to delete lines 32 through 96, type `:32,96d`.
    - To delete the last line, type `:$d`
    - To delete all lines before the current line, type `:1,.-1d`.
    - To delete all lines after the current line, type `:.+1,$d`.
    - You can use regular expression to perform actions, such as deletion, on matches. For example, to delete all lines that start with the letter 'A', type `:g/^A/d`.
    - To search for a word, type `/` then the word. For example, `/crabcake`.
    - `g` to go to the top of the file.
    - `P` to paste before the cursor position and `p` to paste after the cursor position.
    - Jump to previous location: `Ctrl + I` and `Ctrl + O`
    - `~` to change the case of highlighted text.
    - `u` to undo.
    - `.` to repeat the last action.
    - `y` to yank (copy) the selected text and `yy` to yank the current line.
    - MACROS
    - Start reporting a macro named "a": `qa`
    - Stop recording: `q`
    - Play back the macro named "a": `@a`
    - To search for a something in a code base, type `:Ag <searchTerm>`. Ag is the chemical symbol of silver because the plugin that adds this functionality is named _The Silver Searcher_.
    - To read the Go documentation for a method, move your cursor to the method, then type `:GoDoc`.
    - To navigate to a specific code line, type `gg` + the code line number (e.g., `gg12` for line 12).
    - Use `:e` to reload the Vim gutter to clear the console of errors

    ### Plugins

    #### Code of Completion (COC) notes
    - COC default preferences: [schema.json](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/data/schema.json)
    - To access the COC configuration file, use the Vim command `:CocConfig`
    - To install COC plugins, use the Vim command: `:CocInstall <plugin>` (e.g., `:CocInstall coc-json` & `:CocInstall coc-tsserver` )

    ### Set Vim as the default editor

    ```shell

    ## Java

    See [How To Install Java with Apt on Ubuntu 18.04 | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-with-apt-on-ubuntu-18-04).

    ```shell
    sudo apt install -y default-jre
    sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jre-headless
    sudo apt install -y openjdk-8-jre-headless

    sudo apt install -y default-jdk

    java -version
    javac -version
    ```

    Copy the path from your preferred installation. Then open `/etc/environment` using `nano` or your favorite text editor:

    ```shell
    sudo nano /etc/environment
    ```

    At the end of this file, add the following line, making sure to replace the highlighted path with your own copied path, but **do not** include the `bin/` portion of the path:

    ```shell
    JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64"
    ```

    Modifying this file will set the `JAVA_HOME` path for all users on your system.

    Save the file and exit the editor.

    Now reload this file to apply the changes to your current session:

    ```shell
    source /etc/environment
    ```

    Verify that the environment variable is set:

    ```shell
    echo $JAVA_HOME
    ```
