Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up an OS X laptop for web development.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

Install

Download, review, then execute the script:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomtoday/laptop/master/mac
less mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

Debugging

Your last Laptop run will be saved to ~/laptop.log. Read through it to see if you can debug the issue yourself. If not, copy the lines where the script failed into a new GitHub Issue for us. Or, attach the whole log file as an attachment.

What it sets up

• Bundler for managing Ruby libraries
• Foreman for managing web processes
• Heroku Toolbelt for interacting with the Heroku API
• Homebrew for managing operating system libraries
• Node.js and NPM, for running apps and installing JavaScript packages
• Postgres for storing relational data
• RCM for managing company and personal dotfiles
• Redis for storing key-value data
• Zsh as your shell

It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine).

Customize in ~/.laptop.local

Your ~/.laptop.local is run at the end of the Laptop script. Put your customizations there. For example:

#!/bin/sh

brew_tap 'caskroom/cask'
brew_install_or_upgrade 'brew-cask'

brew cask install dropbox
brew cask install google-chrome
brew cask install rdio

gem_install_or_update 'parity'

brew_install_or_upgrade 'tree'
brew_install_or_upgrade 'watch'

Write your customizations such that they can be run safely more than once. See the mac script for examples.

Laptop functions such as fancy_echo, brew_install_or_upgrade, and gem_install_or_update can be used in your ~/.laptop.local.

See the wiki for more customization examples.
