Adding ssh, zsh, and ohmyzsh

first, we set up zsh as our shell:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y zsh
which zsh       # note the path, e.g. /usr/bin/zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh) $USER

setup ssh from your machine

this will allow us to ssh into your machine using vscode and others

1. Setup port forwarding in your vm or to allow connection to your 22 port to lets say port 2000
2. add this to your .ssh/config

Host ubuntu-ML
  HostName localhost
  User santy
  Port 2000
  ForwardAgent true

Add ohmyzsh:

sudo apt install -y git curl
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Adding node,npm, and nvm

add nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

install latest node(npm is installed automatically)

nvm install node
