1. Install Determinate Nix:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install

2. Clone dotfiles:

git clone [email protected]:MaxFangX/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

3. Apply home-manager config (uses hostname -s to select config):

~/.dotfiles/bin/hms

After first run, hms is in PATH. To upgrade Nix later: just nix-upgrade

4. Configure Determinate Nix (disables auto-GC, which otherwise deletes open nix develop shell envs every 2 hours; GC manually with just clean):

cd ~/.dotfiles && just nix-setup

5. Set zsh as the default shell (installed by hms):

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Log out and back in for the change to take effect.

lazy.nvim recommends installing a Nerdfont: https://www.nerdfonts.com/

I like "Menlo", so use "Meslo", a customized version of it: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

Install by opening in Finder and double clicking on the font:

• MesloLGMNerdFontMono-Bold.ttf
• MesloLGMNerdFontMono-BoldItalic.ttf
• MesloLGMNerdFontMono-Italic.ttf
• MesloLGMNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf

Notes:

• "LG*" is font weight (LGL=Light, LGM=Medium, LGS=Semi-bold). Using LGM now.
• Don't need "Propo" (proportional) or "DZ" (alternate glyphs)

Configure iTerm2 to use the font: Settings > Profiles > Text > Font

This command can confirm whether the font was installed properly.
