Rustifier (WARNING: BARELY TESTED, MIGHT SHOW UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR)

Rustifier is a tool designed to quickly set up a complete Yazelix environment, integrating Zellij, Yazi, Helix, WezTerm, and Nushell. It offers an easy, opinionated setup with the option to include additional useful Rust-based terminal utilities.

Todo List

• Update Yazelix README
• Create Yazelix video
• maybe create a rustifier_programs folder in users $HOME?
• bunch of improvements
• move system dependencies of nushell into the script
• Update the testing table
• Add instructions on how to set zoxide
• Add instructions on how to set starship

Compatibility

• WARNING: The current version has not been tested yet
• Should be compatible with various Linux distributions
• This project is experimental and users should exercise caution when installing and use at their own risk.
• It's recommended to review the installation scripts and understand the changes that will be made to your system before proceeding.

(stale) A previous version of rustifier was tested with:

Component	Version
OS	Pop!_OS 22.04
DE	COSMIC
Zellij	0.40.1
Helix	helix 24.7 (09297046)
Nushell	0.96.1
Zoxide	0.9.4
Yazi	0.2.5
WezTerm	20240203-110809-5046fc22

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   mkdir ~/rustifier_programs
   git clone https://github.com/luccahuguet/rustifier.git ~/rustifier_programs 
   cd rustifier

2. Setting up base programs

   1. Run the setup script:

      chmod +x setup.sh
      ./setup.sh

      This script will check if Rust, Nushell, and Just are installed. If they're not, it will ask for your permission to install them. These tools are required for Rustifier to function properly.

   2. Restart your shell or run exec $SHELL (bash)

3. Install system dependencies:

   • For Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

     sudo apt install libssl-dev

   • For Fedora:

     sudo dnf install openssl-devel

   Note: These may be required for Nushell installation if not already present.

4. Install Helix

   • For instance if you want to build it from source:

     git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix ~/rustifier_programs/helix
     cd helix

   • And then:

     cargo install --path helix-term --locked

5. Install Wezterm. Click here to see many installation options... or for debian/ubuntu systems:

   • Configure the apt repo:

     curl -fsSL https://apt.fury.io/wez/gpg.key | sudo gpg --yes --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/wezterm-fury.gpg
     echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/wezterm-fury.gpg] https://apt.fury.io/wez/ * *' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wezterm.list

   • And then:

     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install wezterm

6. Configure WezTerm:
   a. Create or open your ~/.wezterm.lua file
   b. Add the following content:

   -- Pull in the wezterm API
   local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
   -- This will hold the configuration.
   local config = wezterm.config_builder()
   -- This is where you actually apply your config choices
   -- For example, changing the color scheme:
   config.color_scheme = 'Abernathy'
   -- Spawn a nushell shell in login mode
   config.default_prog = { 'nu', '-c', "zellij -l welcome --config-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij options --layout-dir ~/.config/yazelix/zellij/layouts" }
   -- Others
   config.hide_tab_bar_if_only_one_tab = true
   config.window_decorations = "NONE"
   -- and finally, return the configuration to wezterm
   return config

   Note: For extra configuration, visit: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html

7. Run the installation script:

   just
   

   This will some show installation options on your screen, pick your poison :poison: and follow the steps!

8. Now it seems everything is installed, right? Please reboot your machine for good measure

cargo-binstall for Installation

Rustifier uses cargo-binstall for installing and updating packages. This approach provides some benefits:

• It can install pre-compiled binaries when available, which is often faster than compiling from source.
• It falls back to building from source when pre-compiled binaries are not available.
• It provides a consistent way to manage installations across all specified programs.
