Fedora Setup CLI

A Rust-based CLI tool for quick Fedora system setup and configuration.

Features

This tool provides both an interactive menu and direct CLI commands for installing and configuring various software on Fedora Linux.

Key Features:

• Pure Rust implementation: All installation logic written in Rust using cmd_lib
• Self-contained binary: No external script files needed at runtime
• Dual-mode operation: Interactive menu or direct CLI commands
• Minimal dependencies: No heavy dependencies like reqwest or openssl
• Interactive menu: Easy-to-use navigation with dialoguer
• CLI-friendly: Execute installations directly via command-line arguments
• Secure downloads: Uses system curl with proper TLS settings

Installation

Download Prebuilt Binary (Recommended)

# Download the binary
curl -LO https://github.com/raikbitters/fedora-setup/releases/download/1.0.0/fedora-setup

# Make it executable
chmod +x fedora-setup

# Move to your PATH
sudo mv fedora-setup /usr/local/bin/

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/raikbitters/fedora-setup.git
cd fedora-setup
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/fedora-setup /usr/local/bin/

Or install globally via cargo:

cargo install --path .

Usage

The tool supports both interactive mode and direct CLI commands.

Interactive Mode

Run without arguments to launch the interactive menu:

fedora-setup

Then:

1. Use arrow keys to navigate the menu
2. Press Enter to select an option
3. Follow any prompts during installation
4. Select "Exit" or "Ctrl+C" when done

CLI Mode

Execute specific commands directly:

# Install Discord
fedora-setup discord

Development

Prerequisites

• Fedora Linux
• Rust toolchain (install via rustup)
• GCC compiler (sudo dnf install gcc or sudo dnf group install c-development)

Dependencies

• dialoguer - Interactive CLI prompts
• console - Terminal utilities
• colored - Colored terminal output
• anyhow - Error handling
• dirs - Home directory utilities
• cmd_lib - Ergonomic shell command execution
• clap - Command-line argument parsing

Implementation Details

All installations are implemented as pure Rust functions that use cmd_lib::run_cmd! macro for executing system commands. This approach provides:

• Type-safe command execution
• Proper error handling with Result<()>
• Clean and readable syntax similar to shell scripts
• No need for temporary script files

Example:

pub fn install_rust() -> Result<()> {
    let url = "https://sh.rustup.rs";
    run_cmd!(curl --proto "=https" --tlsv1.2 -sSf $url | sh -s -- -y)?;
    Ok(())
}
