# Basic setup for JS development environment

## Ubuntu
### Oh-my-zsh
Oh My Zsh is a delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes bundled with a ton of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes, and a few things that make you shout...
```shell
sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install -y git zsh curl jq
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
# it will ask for your session password
````
To make this change stick, restart your laptop :
```shell
sudo reboot
```

### Git
First, if you have not already done so, create a new account on [github](https://www.github.com)

Open a new `Terminal` and type or use `Ctrl` + `Shift`+ `V` to paste following line
```shell
sudo apt-get install -y git
```
We will need to generate an ssh key pair to link your github account to your local machine
```shell
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[e-mail]"
```
Press enter to leave the default configuration and do not enter a password when prompted
Next add key to ssh-agent
```shell
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```
Copy the content of your public key to the clipboard like this
```shell
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Other whay
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # and copy the content
```
Then connect to your Github account, got to *Settings* > *SSH and GPG keys* > *New SSH key*
Give a title and paste your public key in key field, then click on *Add ssh key*

After try
```shell
ssh -T [e-mail]
It should be return
# Hi --------! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access
```

## Vscode
[Vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux) is an open source text editor, thanks to its flexibility and plugins, it will be very useful for application development
download .deb package [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=760868) and type it to install
```shell
sudo apt install ./path/to_file.deb
```
In order to start vscode from the command line, open vscode and press `CTRL` + `SHIFT` + `P` in the dialog box that opens type `shell` and `ENTER` to install the configuration

Next go to plugin tab and install following plugins
Plugins 
- ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-Native snippets
-  HTML Snippets
- Indent-rainbow

## Nvm
Nvm is Node Version Manager, It is thanks to him that we will be able to easily install and use several versions of Node.JS 
```shell
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
```
Exit your shell and reopen a window, then type `nvm` and a command list should appear, if you have an error message like this `zsh: command not found: nvm`
open the `.zshrc` file like this` code ~/.zshrc` then add the following configuration at the end of the file
```text
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion
```

Now you can install the latest node version this way:
`nvm install node` it will change automatically the default node version otherwise type `nvm use node` or `nvm use 11.0.1` for a given version.

now type `node -v` it will return `v 11.0.1`

## Mysql
[MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) is an open-source database management system, commonly installed as part of the popular [LAMP](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-ubuntu-18-04)(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack. It uses a relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) to manage its data.
```shell
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation
```
You will then need to remove the root user by default otherwise you should use sudo to access mysql
connect to mysql with the identifiers you have just created
```shell
sudo mysql -u root -p
```
Then in mysql shell
```mysql
drop user 'root'@'localhost';
CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_i_want';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
exit
```
You can now you connect to mysql shell without sudo command
```shell
mysql -u root -p
```
