About this Video:

This video covers how to set up a basic programming or software development workstation. If you're getting into scripting, programming, and software development, you need a solid "base box" to work from.

I'm using Ubuntu for this, since it's the distribution that most people start with. We're going to set up a few things that are useful no matter which language environment you end up configuring on top:

1. The build-essentials package, which contains compilers, GNU make, and other tools you'll probably need later on (even if you're not working with C/C++).
sudo apt-get install build-essentials

1.5 A few other basic things:
sudo apt-get install curl wget

2. Sublime Text (text editor):

3. The Git version control system:
sudo apt-get install git-core

4. ZSH (the Z shell) and oh-my-zsh:
sudo apt-get install zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
