[Bug]: Defaults to fish and conf.d ?

[orsenthil]

What did you expect to happen?

I expect atuin to install and setup the configuration

What happened?

Looks like something is up with your home directory permissions. If you could fix those and retry, we should be good to go

@ellie , I have the exact problem when trying to download atuin using curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh.

And nothing else seems to have a problem with permissions in my home directory. Some detailed insight would be helpful.

I have zsh in my terminal, but atuin defaults to using .bash_profile and fish, just like OP's issue. I am not sure if that is the intended way, but my first instinct was that it should use my zsh profile? Or am I wildly wrong here? It is able to add the following lines to me .zshrc:

. "$HOME/.atuin/bin/env" eval "$(atuin init zsh)"

@orsenthil , I just realised that using the curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh installation method fails (at least on my macos apple silicon), and so does using homebrew (the tui doesn't show up even after successful installation from homebrew).

I reinstalled atuin using cargo (follow the docs, and install the rust toolchain using rustup first). Then in your terminal - echo 'eval "$(atuin init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc.

And then restart your terminal. This correctly installs it, and the tui is visible.

Hmmm sounds like the part where we add the atuin binary to PATH is failing. I believe it adds it to all shells, will check. Can you share the file permissions you have set for that path? Or any parent directory of it, if it doesn't exist

Otherwise, our script automatically adds the shell init:

atuin/install.sh

Lines 43 to 54 in 90e7d28

	if ! grep -q "atuin init zsh" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc"; then
	printf '\neval "$(atuin init zsh)"\n' >> "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc"
	fi
	# Use of single quotes around $() is intentional here
	# shellcheck disable=SC2016
	if ! grep -q "atuin init bash" ~/.bashrc; then
	curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh
	printf '\n[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh\n' >> ~/.bashrc
	echo 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
	fi

using homebrew (the tui doesn't show up even after successful installation from homebrew).

The docs cover installations with package managers, where manually installing the shell plugin is required: https://docs.atuin.sh/guide/installation/
