OSX Dev Tools

OSX Dev Tools is a script to set up your Max OS X laptop as a web development machine.

Requirements

• OSX Mountain Lion (This is what I'm using so it's the only version I'm targeting, sorry)
• XCode 4.4
• X11
• MySQL

Install

Run the script:

git clone https://github.com/newism/osx-dev-tools.git
./osx-dev-tools/mac

What it sets up

• SSH public key (for authenticating with services like Github and Heroku)
• Homebrew (for managing operating system libraries)
• Git
• Git Flow
• PhantomJS (For headless JavaScript testing)
• Ack (for finding things in files)
• ImageMagick (for cropping and resizing images)
• RVM (for managing versions of the Ruby programming language)
• Ruby language (for writing general-purpose code)
• Bunch of commonly used gems (Sass, Compass, Stitch etc...)
• Node (The awesome Javascript runtime)
• NPM (Node package manager)
• Coffeescript
• Bunch of commonly-used node packages
• PHP 5.3 & PHP 5.4 w/ intl, apc, xdebug, twig and composer (https://github.com/josegonzalez/homebrew-php)

It should take about 30 minutes for everything to install, depending on your machine.

What it doesn't setup

• MySQL
• Apache
• Enabling PHP in Apache
• Setting up VirtualHosts
• Apps

The installer doesn't do these things because it's a) Already installed in MacOSX by default or b) It needs admin rights.

Setting up Apache

Find this line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf starting with:

LoadModule php5_module /some/path

And replace the path with:

# PHP 5.3
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php53/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

or

# PHP 5.4
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php53/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Add this line to the bottom of the file:

Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Setting up x-debug

The php.ini file is located in /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/conf.d/ext-xdebug.ini. You'll need to add these settings to the bottom of the file and restart Apache.

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php53-xdebug/2.2.1/xdebug.so"

xdebug.file_link_format="txmt://open?url=file://%%f&line=%%l"
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.scream=1
xdebug.cli_color=1
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200

xdebug.overload_var_dump=1
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=6
xdebug.var_display_max_data=2048
var_display_max_children=256

xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.extended_info=1

Virtual Hosts

I use VirtualHostX for all of my VirtualHost needs.

Recommended Apps

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Sublime Text 2
• VirtualHostX
• Sequel Pro

Setting up Sublime Text 2

First, install the package manager:

import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp=sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs(ipp) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler())); open(os.path.join(ipp,pf),'wb').write(urllib2.urlopen('http://sublime.wbond.net/'+pf.replace(' ','%20')).read()); print 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation'

• Tomorrow theme.
• Soda UI theme

Here are some recommended packages.
