Quick Start

Download and run the latest pre-built binary — no Rust toolchain required:

# x86_64
curl -fsSL https://github.com/nguyenvulong/devenv-linux/releases/latest/download/devenv-$(uname -m).tar.xz | tar -xJ && ./devenv

# aarch64 (ARM64)
curl -fsSL https://github.com/nguyenvulong/devenv-linux/releases/latest/download/devenv-aarch64.tar.xz | tar -xJ && ./devenv

Or use the bootstrap script (auto-detects architecture):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nguyenvulong/devenv-linux/main/install.sh | bash

Requires: curl or wget, and sudo access (for system packages & tmux).

After Installation

Reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc          # bash
source ~/.config/fish/config.fish   # fish

Open Neovim once to finish plugin setup:

nvim
# Wait for plugins to install, then press <Space>qq to quit

Headless / CI Mode

Skip the TUI and install everything automatically:

./devenv --all
# or
CI=true ./devenv
