The installation script (install.sh) is merely a wrapper around the playbooks provided in ansible/. Together, these tools
perform all the necessary input parsing and setup as defined by the user. Ansible handles the installation of several packages
and applications defined by the installation script that do not necessary have dotfiles.

git - Clone the repository (via https,
git clone https://github.com/edurso/dotfiles.git) into the home directory - Configure git (
./git.pyhelps with this) - Run
sudo ./install.sh- Note that the configuration steps of the installer are interactive, and will install ansible if ran as
sudo - There are 3 installation phases: the base components, the development components (i.e. ides, etc.), and the desktop components (i.e.) general applications.
