Setup and test a variety of languages for development, quickly and efficiently (FreeBSD 13)

[decuser]

I use a lot of programming languages, this is a distillation of how I get them installed and tested for others who might not have gone that far down this road

What gets installed and tested: python, java, ruby, perl, apache, php, and xdebug, sqlite, mysql, LaTeX

# snapshot just in case we rm -fr /boot, / or something else
sudo bectl create languages

# first we install the languages, then test

----------
-- python - install a recent python w/tcl-tk support using pyenv to manage multiples
----------
git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init --path)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

# if you have some scripts and manpages, copy 'em over and test

-- LaTeX - if you don't do tex, skip, but if you wanna be sure you have it all

I added these lines in .zshrc, as each language has an install directory

export PATH=$PATH:/home/x/.local/bin # PYTHON PIP
