I created this repository to keep my own development setup documented so that I can stand up a new development environment easily if I ever need to. The scripts below install and update everything I need for development and daily use after a fresh OS install of either Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, or Windows 11. I have also documented my hardware setup and Visual Studio Code settings and extensions below.
My recommendation is to fork this repository and modify the scripts to fit your own needs and so that you can document your own setup for yourself.
The scripts below will require modification unless you want my exact setup, which should only be the case if you are me.
- Setup Automation and Documentation
The ServerSetup.sh is similar to the WorkstationSetup.sh script, but is geared towards installing the essentials that I need for a new Ubuntu Server virtual machine on any given project that I am working on. This includes Docker, NodeJS, Yarn, PowerShell, Python, .NET Runtimes and all updates from apt and snap. It also sets the timezone on the server to America/New_York.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/Josh-XT/Setup
./Setup/ServerSetup.shThe AGiXTSetup.sh script is used to set up a VM for AGiXT development on a fresh Linux install. It installs all necessary packages for the operating system, installed AGiXT, then runs AGiXT. This makes setting up a new VM for AGiXT development a breeze.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/Josh-XT/Setup
./Setup/AGiXTSetup.shThe WorkstationSetup.sh script handles all of my application installs and git configurations on a workstation so that I can stand up a new development environment for myself in minutes without missing any of my critical software or configurations. WorkstationSetup.sh was created to work on any Ubuntu based distrobution, such as Pop!_OS, Mint, etc.
Open terminal and copy/paste the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/Josh-XT/SetupNote: WorkstationSetup.sh should be modified before running it so that you can enter your own details in the git config and add or remove any apt packages you might want or not want. This script is specifically set up for me to use after a fresh image.
./Setup/WorkstationSetup.shFor more information, check out the AGiXT repository.
First, make sure the Cuda Toolkit is installed as well as Docker. You will also need to install [NVIDIA Container Toolkit]
To set up ezlocalai and AGiXT, start with opening two separate terminals.
If you want to run a different model in ezlocalai, modify the .env file per the instructions in the ezlocalai repository.
Terminal 1 (ezlocalai):
git clone https://github.com/DevXT-LLC/ezlocalai
cd ezlocalai
sudo pwsh ./start.ps1Terminal 2 (AGiXT):
git clone https://github.com/Josh-XT/AGiXT
cd AGiXT
sudo pwsh ./AGiXT.ps1Once both are running, you can navigate to http://localhost:8501 for the AGiXT Streamlit interface to create and manage your artificial intelligence agents.
After a fresh Windows 11 install, open the Windows Store, get all updates, then run windows updates until caught up, then reboot. After that, open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following commands:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass

I have settings sync enabled and sync with my GitHub account, but I've found it very helpful to other to have a list of the settings and extensions that I use.
Some settings I'd highly recommend setting up the auto save on focus change as well as the auto format on save. Set Python Black as your default formatter for python. Click on the settings gear in the bottom left of VSCode, then Settings. You'll be able to search for the settings below and change them there.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
Files: Auto Save |
onFocusChange |
Editor: Default Formatter |
Black Formatter |
Editor: Format on Save |
Checked |
Editor: Format On Save Mode |
file |
Notebook: Format On Save |

To install the same VSCode extensions that I use, run the CodeExtensions.sh script in the Setup directory.

This will clone all GitHub repositories that you own or collaborate on sorted by organization/owner into your defined repo_dir.
- Open the
GetRepos.ipynbnotebook in VSCode - Enter your GitHub Personal Access Token into the
gh_tokenvariable - Update the
repo_dirwith the path that you would like to clone the repositories to - Run the notebook and wait for all of your repositories to be cloned.
- Open the
repo_dirin VSCode to start working on your projects.
