Setup

Personal bootstrap repo for a yed-centric dev environment on Linux/WSL.

Flags

All flags are opt-in and combinable; a bare ./install.sh does the base install only.

Flag	What it does
(none)	Base install: build + install yed to ~/.local, PowerlineSymbols font, .bashrc, kitty.conf, and compile yed plugins + config into ~/.config/yed.
--lsp	Also install LSP servers: clangd, bash-language-server, pylsp (via sudo apt/pip), and marksman (prebuilt binary → ~/.local/bin, no sudo). Under --hpc, all four use user-space installs. A server that fails to install no longer aborts the run — it's reported in the final summary.
--hpc	HPC login-node mode (e.g. Frontier/OLCF): no sudo, no apt. Skips fonts + kitty.conf (both are local-terminal concerns), appends to shell rc files instead of overwriting them, and uses user-space LSP installs. module load a compiler (e.g. module load gcc) before running.
--zsh	Also install the zsh config (.zshrc). bash is still set up by default — this adds zsh alongside it, it does not replace it.
--claude	Install Claude Code (no sudo, to ~/.local/bin) if not already on PATH, then install the statusLine script to ~/.claude and merge the statusLine key into ~/.claude/settings.json. Needs jq.
-h, --help	Print usage and exit.

Tab-completion for these is provided by the repo's .bashrc and offers only the flags not already on the line.

What it installs

• yed itself, built from the yed/ submodule (dev branch) into ~/.local
• PowerlineSymbols font (fonts-powerline via apt) + fc-cache
• ~/.bashrc — shell config (custom prompt, aliases including ll → new_ls.sh)
• ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf — terminal config
• ~/.config/yed/ — yed plugins compiled from ./.yed/**/*.c (excluding lsp_repos/), plus yedrc, ypm_list, and templates/
• (optional, --lsp) LSP servers: clangd, bash-language-server, pylsp, marksman
• (optional, --claude) Claude Code (via claude.ai/install.sh if not already on PATH — no sudo, installs to ~/.local/bin) plus ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh, a statusLine showing context + 5hr rate-limit bars. The statusLine key is merged into ~/.claude/settings.json (never overwriting it — that file also holds per-machine keys like enabledPlugins/theme). Needs jq at runtime.

Prerequisites

• gcc, make, git
• kitty (for kitty.conf)
• sudo (for font + optional LSP installs)
• unbuffer (expect package — for new_ls.sh)

Usage

git clone --recurse-submodules <this-repo>
cd setup
./install.sh                # bootstrap: build yed, install fonts + dotfiles + plugins
./install.sh --lsp          # additionally install LSP servers (sudo)
./install.sh --claude       # additionally install Claude Code + its statusLine
./install.sh --hpc --lsp    # login-node install: no sudo, user-space LSP servers
./install.sh --zsh --claude # flags combine freely
./install.sh --help         # full flag list
./update.sh                 # interactive: diff repo vs installed, push or pull per file

install.sh writes per-step logs under /tmp/setup-<timestamp>/ and prints [OK] / [FAIL] per step. update.sh is for ongoing maintenance — it shows unified diffs and lets you choose direction (with .bak-<timestamp> backups).

If you cloned without --recurse-submodules, install.sh will run git submodule update --init for you.
