Git ​

Create an SSH key:

See Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent - GitHub Docs.

shell
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Set your Git identity, otherwise cloning can sometimes fail with GnuTLS recv error (-110):

shell
git config --global user.name "your_name"
git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

Useful defaults:

shell
# ignore line ending differences
git config --global core.autocrlf input
# ignore file mode changes
git config --global core.fileMode false

Shortcut adjustment:

In Settings -> Keymap -> Main menu -> Navigate -> Declaration or Usages -> Choose Target..., the shortcut under the KDE keymap is Alt+Shift+1 instead of Alt+F1, because Alt+F1 is reserved by plasmashell. Since the conflicting Plasma shortcut was removed earlier, you can change it back manually or switch the whole keymap to Windows.

If IDEA keeps consuming more memory without releasing it:

  • pkill -f "ExternalJavacProcess" to kill all lingering ExternalJavacProcess processes.
  • Open Settings / Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S).
  • Go to Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler.
  • Set Compile independent modules in parallel to Disabled.
  • Do this both in New Projects Settings and in the current project.
  • Restart IDEA.

Python + pipx + cnpip + Miniforge + uv ​

The system Python is available by default, but global pip install runs into the externally-managed-environment restriction:

shell
$ pip install cnpip

error: externally-managed-environment
...

Use the officially suggested solution, pipx:

shell
# install pipx with pacman
sudo pacman -S python-pipx
# install cnpip with pipx
pipx install cnpip
# switch to the fastest pip mirror
cnpip set
# install uv with pipx
pipx install uv

If you also want a Python environment fully independent from the system Python, install Miniforge:

shell
# download the Miniforge installer through the proxy
$ proxychains -q curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
# or
$ proxychains -q wget "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
# or
$ proxychains -q axel -n 10 "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"

# install Miniforge
$ bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

# initialize it during installation

Android Studio ​

Install Android SDK / NDK / Command-line Tools ​

After the first launch, open Tools -> SDK Manager, or go to Settings -> Language & Frameworks -> Android SDK:

  1. In SDK Platforms, install the Android API levels you need, ideally including at least one stable version such as API 35 or 36.
  2. In SDK Tools, install:
    • Android SDK Build-Tools
    • NDK (Side by side)
    • Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)
    • Android SDK Platform-Tools

Verify the install location afterwards:

shell
$ ls -lah ~/Android/Sdk
$ ls -1 ~/Android/Sdk/ndk
29.0.14206865

Append the environment variables to ~/.zshrc:

shell
# Android SDK / NDK
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Android/Sdk"
export NDK_HOME="$ANDROID_HOME/ndk/29.0.14206865"
# Android command-line tools + Android Studio
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:/opt/jetbrains/android-studio/bin:$PATH"

If you installed Android Studio through JetBrains Toolbox, replace /opt/jetbrains/android-studio/bin with the actual install path.

Apply the changes and verify:

shell
source ~/.zshrc
adb version
sdkmanager --version
echo $ANDROID_HOME
echo $NDK_HOME
which studio

Install the Chinese Language Plugin for IDEA ​

The example below edits plugins/localization-zh/lib/localization-zh.jar from the installed IDEA directory. Using the package from JetBrains Marketplace, such as v242.152, works similarly.

You can also use the helper script directly:

shell
# with curl; auto-detects JetBrains IDE and Android Studio
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duanluan/shell-scripts/main/prepare-jetbrains-zh-plugin.sh | bash

# with wget; or specify locations explicitly with --jb and --as
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duanluan/shell-scripts/main/prepare-jetbrains-zh-plugin.sh | bash -s -- --jb /opt/jetbrains/intellij-idea-ultimate --as /opt/jetbrains/android-studio

Manual steps:

shell
# check the Android Studio build
$ cat /opt/jetbrains/android-studio/build.txt 
AI-252.27397.103.2522.14617522% 

# copy the Chinese plugin JAR from IDEA into Downloads
sudo cp /opt/jetbrains/intellij-idea-ultimate/plugins/localization-zh/lib/localization-zh.jar ~/Downloads/
cd ~/Downloads/
# extract META-INF/plugin.xml
unzip localization-zh.jar META-INF/plugin.xml

Edit META-INF/plugin.xml:

  • change <version>253.29346.138</version> to <version>AI-252.25557.131</version>
  • change <idea-version since-build="253.29346.138" until-build="253.29346.138"/> to <idea-version since-build="AI-252.27397.103" until-build="252.*"/>
  • clear the content inside <description> and keep only <description></description>
shell
# update plugin.xml back into the JAR
sudo zip localization-zh.jar META-INF/plugin.xml

In Android Studio, go to Settings -> Plugins -> gear icon in the upper-right -> Install Plugin from Disk..., choose the modified localization-zh.jar, and restart the app.

Then go to Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Language and Region and choose Chinese (Simplified) under Language.

  • Dart SDK path: /home/duanluan/fvm/versions/stable/bin/cache/dart-sdk

Check the environment and fix common issues:

shell
# inspect the current environment
$ proxychains -q fvm flutter doctor -v
...

  • Change the Flutter SDK mirror:

    shell
    cd /home/duanluan/fvm/versions/stable
git remote set-url origin https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/flutter-sdk.git

# append environment variables
$ nano ~/.zshrc

export FLUTTER_GIT_URL="https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/flutter-sdk.git"

# reload the config
$ source ~/.zshrc

  • Fix Unable to locate Android SDK:

    Install Android Studio as described above and let it install the Android SDK and related tools.

  • Fix cmdline-tools component is missing:

    In Android Studio, go to Settings -> Language & Frameworks -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools, check Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest), and install it.

    Then run fvm flutter doctor --android-licenses and answer y to all prompts.

  • Fix Cannot find Chrome executable at google-chrome:

    Install Google Chrome as described in the system tools section, then set:

    shell
    # append environment variables
$ nano ~/.zshrc

# chrome
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable"

# reload the config
$ source ~/.zshrc

  • Fix Due to an error, the doctor check did not complete. and Error: Unable to run "adb":

    Run fvm flutter doctor -v without the proxy.

……
--- copy the line above ---
