Development Environment Setup Script

This repository contains a bash script to set up a development environment with Node.js, npm, localtunnel, and code-server on a Linux system. The script also includes an optional installation of the nano text editor.

Features

• Checks for Existing Installations: The script checks if Node.js, npm, localtunnel, code-server, and nano are already installed and skips installation if they are present.
• Automated Setup: It installs required software, sets up a local tunnel, and starts code-server with no authentication.
• Configurable and Extensible: The script can be easily modified to add or remove components as needed.

Prerequisites

• A Linux-based operating system
• sudo privileges to install software packages

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/epic-miner/codeserver
   cd codeserver

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x *

3. Run the script:

   ./codeserver.sh

Colab

Run the script: on colab

   !git clone https://github.com/epic-miner/codeserver
   %cd codeserver
   !chmod +x *
   !./codeserver.sh

The script will:

• Update the package list.
• Install Node.js and npm if they are not already installed.
• Install localtunnel globally using npm if it is not already installed.
• Install code-server if it is not already installed.
• Optionally install nano if it is not already installed.
• Start a local tunnel on port 6070 and save the tunnel URL.
• Start code-server on port 6070 with no authentication.
• Display the code-server configuration and the tunnel URL.
