MacOS Development Setup

Goal is to quickly set up a fresh install (or existing install) with base set of tools.

1. Install homebrew

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

2. Download the Homebrew bundle

   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikeparcewski/macsetup/master/Brewfile
   

3. Load the brew bundle

   brew bundle
   

4. Install oh-my-zsh

   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
   

5. Configure jenv - http://www.jenv.be/
   • Create config directory

     mkdir -p ~/.jenv/versions
     

   • Update .zshrc with some jenv stuff

     echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.jenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
     echo 'eval "$(jenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshrc
     source ~/.zshrc
     

   • Set up the JDK's for jenv

     for i in `ls -d -1 "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/"*/Contents/Home`; do jenv add $i; done
     

   • Enable all the plugins for jenv

     for i in `jenv plugins`; do if [ "" != $i ]; then jenv enable-plugin $i; fi; done
     

   Check out http://www.jenv.be, and skip the "installation" sections and jump straight to "configure" and "And Use!" sections.

6. Install pip

   sudo python -m ensurepip
   

7. Clean up the dock (e.g. add/remove any programs needed)

Other useful hacks

To add a space to between items in the dock, just run the below command. After you'll see an empty space at the end of the bar and you can just drag in between your apps

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}'; killall Dock
