Some commonly used machine setup commands

Basics

The essentials:

Miniconda

(Installs python3.10, x86 version of miniconda into home directory):

for other variants of miniconda see: https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/

cd ~/ && mkdir -p miniconda3 && wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py310_25.1.1-2-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ./miniconda3/miniconda.sh --no-check-certificate && bash ./miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ./miniconda3 && rm ./miniconda3/miniconda.sh && ./miniconda3/bin/conda init bash && source ~/.bashrc  && python -m pip install unibox ipykernel jupyter && python -m ipykernel install --user --name=conda310

NPM

(Installs npm on fresh ubuntu):

see: nodesource/distributions: NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions

sudo apt-get install -y curl && curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_23.x -o nodesource_setup.sh && sudo -E bash nodesource_setup.sh && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs && node -v

Tooling

Commonly used tools:

Cloudflared

wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 -O ~/cfed && chmod +x ~/cfed

(usage):

~/cfed tunnel --url http://localhost:8888

Common CLI tools

sudo snap install btop
 
apt-get update 
apt-get install -y nano screen unzip ncdu git-lfs btop iproute2 net-tools tmux 
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get upgrade -y
 
 
pip install pipx
# pipx run nvitop

AWS CLI

cd ~/ && curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip" && apt install unzip && unzip awscliv2.zip && ./aws/install && rm awscliv2.zip

Docker

(only works on AWS; does not work on Lepton as it’s already virtualized):

# docker engine 
# https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
 
# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl && sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings && sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc && sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
 
# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
 
# download and install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
 
# verify
sudo docker run hello-world
 
# add to docker 
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

GH

(github cli):

cli/docs/install_linux.md at trunk · cli/cli
(after install, run: gh auth login)

(type -p wget >/dev/null || (sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install wget -y)) \
	&& sudo mkdir -p -m 755 /etc/apt/keyrings \
        && out=$(mktemp) && wget -nv -O$out https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
        && cat $out | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null \
	&& sudo chmod go+r /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
	&& echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null \
	&& sudo apt update \
	&& sudo apt install gh -y

(on macOS):

brew install gh
