Setup set to not suffer the next time

Gif

Setup

1. Run software update

Make sure everything is up to date.

2. Install Xcode and/or "Command Line Tools"

  1. Xcode can be found on App Store. preferred

  2. Open and accept the terms

  3. Finaly got to the terminal and install "Command Line Tools"":

xcode-select --install

More info on how to download Command Line Tools inside XCode can be found on StackOverflow

3. Install Dotfiles

I have an repo with my Dotfiles and instructions.

This will install some useful stuff and install Homebrew.

4. Install softwares

homebrew-cask

Many softwares can be installed through homebrew-cask which makes the process way simpler:

curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mateusortiz/0f2f8f38284700ae2d0b/raw/449126fb267b64d76d4c8d4d065c5cdc9aaa71c3/apps.sh | sh

After install softwares, move all apps from /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/ to /Applications. And to remove all installations files from /Library/Caches/Homebrew.

What's included?

Browser
Development
Others

As not everything is perfect, some apps aren't available through homebrew-cask so you need to install it manually.

App Store

  • TweetDeck
  • Caffeine
  • Dash
  • Evernote
  • Keynote

Manually

5. Borrow a few OSX settings from mathiasbynens dotfiles

7. Create/Update ~/.gitconfig

; I removed the [user] block on purpose so other people don't copy it by mistake
; you will need to set these values
[apply]
    whitespace = fix
[color]
    ui = auto

    cp = cherry-pick
    st = status -s
    cl = clone
    ci = commit
    co = checkout

    dc = diff --cached

You will need to set the user name and email (removed from .gitconfig to avoid errors):

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email youremail@example.com

8. Config vim

I keep my settings and bundles on dropbox, just need to create the symlinks.

# symlink DropBox files
ln -s ~/Dropbox/vim/vim ~/.vim
ln -s ~/Dropbox/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/Dropbox/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

Might change this in the future to use a git repository tho.

9. Configure npm and generate SSH keys for github

Need to set the npm user:

npm adduser

And also generate SSH keys for github

10. Copy stuff from old HD

# recursively copy files and folders
# beware of rsync `-C, --cvs-exclude` flag since it might exclude files you
# don't want to like *.exe, core, tags...
rsync -av '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/millermedeiros/Projects' ~/tmp_projects
rsync -av '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/millermedeiros/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media' ~/tmp_music

Check if files were copied properly and rename/move. Copying to a temporary folder since rsync might delete files depending on the options and/or merge folders that you do not want to merge.

rsync is great, you should use it when possible.

11. Download IE test VMs for VirtualBox

these take a while to download! so maybe do it on a separate day as a background process...

http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools

# IE8 XP
curl -O "https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/IEKitV1_Final/VirtualBox/OSX/IE8_XP/IE8.XP.For.MacVirtualBox.ova"

# IE9 Win7
curl -O "https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/IEKitV1_Final/VirtualBox/OSX/IE9_Win7/IE9.Win7.For.MacVirtualBox.part{1.sfx,2.rar,3.rar,4.rar,5.rar}"

# IE10 Win8
curl -O "https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/IEKitV1_Final/VirtualBox/OSX/IE10_Win8/IE10.Win8.For.MacVirtualBox.part{1.sfx,2.rar,3.rar}"

12. Download a base Ubuntu box for Vagrant

I'm using Vagrant to setup a few VMs locally for development.

The Ubuntu image takes ~2h to download since vagrant server is slow (~50Kb/s), might be faster to download the iso from the Ubuntu site and mount the image by yourself.

# Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bits
vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box

13. Profit!
