Guide to server-shell-setup (packages/server-shell-setup), the one-command dev-environment bootstrap for fish, nushell, nvim, helix, yazi, node via Volta, bun, docker, starship, code-server and more — interactive vs unattended installs, selecting individual components, the fish aliases it adds, and the supported distros. Use when working with server-shell-setup or troubleshooting it — the installer aborting on a fresh server, sudo or password prompts, a shell that doesn't become the default…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Working With server-shell-setup The shell scripts in `packages/server-shell-setup` (`install-shell.sh`, plus `get-node.sh` and `clean-server-disk.sh`). It's not an npm package — it's a bash installer you pipe from the network, aimed at a fresh VPS, container, or Termux session. **Supported systems**: Arch, Ubuntu/Debian, Android (Termux), macOS, Fedora, Alpine. The script detects the OS and picks the right package manager; unsupported combinations skip the component rather than aborting the run. ## Setup On a brand-new server many providers ship with no passwords, which makes `sudo` fail in confusing ways. `install-shell.sh` checks root first: with no root password it prompts on a terminal, or in unattended runs (`--yes` / no TTY) sets root to the user password. Pass passwords as flags or, better (kept out of `ps`), env vars — root and user can share one: ```bash SETUP_PASSWORD='...' bash install-shell.sh --components all --yes # both accounts bash install-shell.sh --root-password '...' --user-password '...' --yes # separately ``` …

How to install
mdr add opensourceagi/dev-tools-starter-agent/server-shell-setup@sha256:4288a09e66cc44fbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.63c4132, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
