NAME
ascinit - Asciiville initialization script
SYNOPSIS
ascinit [-a] [-c] [-d] [-m] [-M] [-n] [-N] [-q] [-r] [-t] [-y] [-u] [arg]
DESCRIPTION
The ascinit command should be run as a normal user with sudo privilege
after installing Asciiville. It performs several configuration initializations
for the user. These include:
The Kitty terminal emulator is installed and configured
The Neovim text editor is installed and configured
Mutt and/or NeoMutt startup files are customized
Tmux configuration is created
default Ranger and Rifle configuration files are created
Asciimatics and Rainbowstream installation is performed
Optionally authorizing the Rainbow Stream app with Twitter
Optionally additional terminal emulators can be installed and configured
Asciiville profiles in Gnome and Tilix terminals are created, if installed
Although command line options are provided to control the action(s) of the
ascinit command (see below), the typical invocation will simply be ascinit
with no options. This default invocation performs a NeoMutt configuration,
does not configure Mutt, configures Tmux and Ranger and Rifle, installs
Asciimatics and Rainbowstream if not already installed, does not authorize
Rainbow Stream with Twitter, installs the Kitty terminal emulator, installs
the Neovim text editor, installs ASCII games, and creates an Asciiville profile
in gnome-terminal and tilix if installed.
If initialization is being performed on a headless system or a system
without graphical capabilities then execute the command ascinit -c
rather than ascinit. When invoked with the -c option the ascinit
command will not install the terminal emulators or create the terminal profiles.
A minimal initialization can be performed with the command:
ascinit minimal
The “minimal” Asciiville initialization does not install optional components
like NeoMutt, Neovim, Ascii games, cbftp, and aewan. These components
can be installed subsequently by rerunning ascinit without arguments.
An initialization can be performed using Homebrew rather than the native package manager with the command:
ascinit brew
In addition to initialization of Asciiville components, ascinit can be used
to individually install and remove the ASCII games, Kitty terminal emulator,
and Neovim text editor. To install one of these components, issue the command:
ascinit <component>
where component is one of games, kitty, or neovim. To remove one of these componenents, run:
ascinit -r <component>
