OSX initial setup

Get a proper file system

Case-insensitive file systems are bad for you. Reformat your drive to a case-sensitive one:

Open Recovery mode by booting while holding Command-R, use disk utility to reformat your drive to Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), and use the installer to reinstall your OS over the web.

If you don't want to wait several hours for the download to complete, you can create a bootable installer ahead of time, and run it from the Startup Manager which is accessed by booting while holding the Option key.

Note: The Steam game platform refuses to run on case sensitive file systems.

Get Git

• Open the terminal and type git to trigger the installation of xcode's dev tools.

Install these dot files:

git clone https://github.com/danyshaanan/.home.git ~/.home
bash ~/.home/init.sh
chsh -s /bin/bash

Run the OSX init setup script:

bash ~/.home/bin/scripts/osx_settings.sh

Install brew, brew-cask, nvm, and rvm:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# remove old node version with http://tinyurl.com/removenode
git clone https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
cd ~/.nvm && git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags` && bash
nvm install stable && nvm alias default stable
# required `[ -s ~/.nvm/nvm.sh ] && . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh` is included in .home

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enabled --ignore-dotfiles
rvm install 2.2.1
# required `[ -s ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm ] && . ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm` is included in .home
