Linux software raid

Ubuntu set up networking
Install NetworkManager, as the wpagui UI sucks
  • sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
  • YOU MUST remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces so wpa gives them up to nm-applet
  • add nm-applet to startup if needed - i don't think it is needed as it seems to start up automatically now - try rebooting first
Ubuntu install Sublime
Sublime editor seems way better than anything else out there on linux:
  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer
  • git config --global core.editor "subl -n -w" # to use sublime with -n(ew window) and -w(ait for exit)
Ubuntu install Node.js
Install Node.js using the "Node.js Version Manager" nvm details
  • find the latest nvm version
  • curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
  • source ~/.profile
  • nvm ls-remote
  • nvm install ##### # (latest version, eg 5.8.0)
  • MDM I don't need this do I? I'm not running express... npm install -g express # to set the package manager to use a globally shared location
  • nvm alias default stable
  • (update .bashrc to configure node on even non-interactive shells - see another for example)
    • also: nvm use 4.2.1; node -v; nvm ls; nvm alias default 0.11.13; nvm use default
    • also: You can create an .nvmrc file containing version number in the project root directory and it will default to that version
Ubuntu install Java
Install Oracle JDK 8 (9 is scheduled for release in 2016)
su -
add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
    • ctrl-D (back to user)
update-alternatives --config java # make note of path
update-alternatives --config javac # make note of path
sudo subl /etc/environment
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java" # actually, use the path from above, of course
