TUI to help you setup your Linux system

Bankai Linux Setup (inspired by the anime "Bleach")

Quick Start:

pipx install bankai
bankai

Bankai is a modular, multi-distro Linux setup and configuration toolkit. It automates the installation of essential applications, developer tools, terminal configs, and user environment tweaks for several popular Linux distributions.

Supported Distributions

• CachyOS / Arch-based
• Kubuntu / Debian / Ubuntu
• Nobara / Fedora

[!NOTE] The current release is primarily focused on and tested with Arch-based distributions like CachyOS. , the plan for other distributions is to have them working as well, but it's not a priority. and does not work in this release.

Features

• Automated installation of system packages and Flatpaks.
• Terminal and shell configuration (Fish, Starship, Fisher, etc.)
• IDEs, developer tools, and language managers (Rust, Node, Python, etc.)
• Optional gaming, Docker, and other productivity enhancements
• Modular config files for terminals (Kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty, Fastfetch)
• Git and SSH setup helper

Usage

After installation, simply run the main command:

bankai

• The script will auto-detect your OS or prompt you to select one.
• You can specify the OS directly:

  bankai --os cachyos   # or kubuntu, nobara
  

• Any extra arguments will be passed to the OS-specific script by adding -- before them:

  bankai --os cachyos -- --some-arg
  

• Follow the prompts for optional installs (gaming, Docker, Fish shell, etc.).

Notes

• pipx is the recommended tool for installing command-line applications like Bankai, as it isolates them in their own environments. You can install it via pip install pipx.
• Some steps will require sudo privileges. The script will prompt you for your password when needed.
• A system restart or re-login is recommended for all changes to take effect.
