Desktop environment configuration or management is always a beast. It takes time to get your new machine into a state you like it to be. When machine went south, it is also hard to get all the favior packages and configuration back. This project is created to help on that perspective.
If you are running a mac, you might want to setup a better developer experience using the dotfiles project before you begin.
The simplest way to get started with a fresh new machine is to download this repository as a zip file (that's right, you don't even need git!). Then do the following:
- unzip the file
- in a command line (terminal for OSX, cygwin for Windows), cd into the folder
- run
./bin/dev init
NOTE: current support platforms are OSX, and Ubuntu Linux Distro (some packages from brew may not work)
- Xcode and the command line tools
# basic setup
git clone [email protected]:DTSS/ADE.git;
cd ADE;
./bin/dev init # initialze working environment, setup vagrant box, and build docker a base image
ADE uses config.json as a authoring sources to drive packages installation. The config.json contains the following section,
This section tells ADE
what vagrant plugins
you like it to installed. The structure is like this,
"vagrant_plugins": [
{
"name": "vagrant-omnibus",
"options": ["config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest"],
"version": ""
},
{
"name": "vagrant-berkshelf",
"options": ["config.berkshelf.enabled = true"],
"version": "2.0.1"
},
{
"name": "vagrant-cachier",
"options": ["config.cache.enable :chef", "config.cache.enable :yum"],
"version": ""
}
,{
"name": "vagrant-puppet-install",
"option": ["config.puppet_install.puppet_version = :latest"],
"version": ""
}
],
vagrant-plugins is an array of hashes and each hash contains three keys,
- name is vagrant plugin name
- options is a list of plugin specific options that you like. If no options require, simply provide an empty list like
[]
- version is a desired plugin version like you. If you want to use the latest one, just provide an empty string like
