Setup OSX 10.9 with a Clean Install

After two years of tinkering my machine is a bit all over. With Mavericks I wanted to start fresh

1. Run Software Update

Make sure everything is up to date.

2. Install XCode

• Open the App Store and search for XCode
• Open XCode after it finishes installing and accpet the "Terms of Service"

3. Set OSX to show hidden files

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true
killall Finder

4. Configure Git and Generate SSH keys for GitHub

Copy the attached gitconfig settings and set your user info (left out to avoid issues)

cd ~/ && curl -O https://gist.github.com/jimmynotjim/7622492/raw/5e895d1da525594c14e1052feb5c9587fb99a41c/.gitconfig
git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email youremail@example.com

Visit GitHub's official guide for instructions.

5. Clone and Install Bash-It

Visit the Bash-It repo for more details.

My personal setup is ahead of @revans, be sure to clone mine and checkout the personal-set-up branch for those changes

Chruby is required for the rest of the setup, be sure to enable it when setting up Bash-It plugins

git clone git@github.com:jimmynotjim/bash-it.git ~/.bash_it
git checkout personal-set-up
~/.bash_it/install.sh

Open a new terminal window to use the Bash-It options you've set

6. Clone and Install Phix Terminal Theme

Visit my OSX Phix Theme repo for more details.

mkdir ~/Repos && cd $_
git clone git@github.com:jimmynotjim/OSX-Terminal-Phix-Theme.git
open ~/Repos/OSX-Terminal-Phix-Theme/Phix_Dark.terminal

Open Terminal > Preferences (or CMD + ,) and select "Default" to make Phix the default theme

7. Clone and Install Brew-It

Many apps can be installed through Homebrew and homebrew-cask which makes the process way simpler

Visit my Brew-It repo for more details.

git clone git@github.com:jimmynotjim/brew-it.git ~/.brew_it
~/.brew_it/install.sh
brew update
brew upgrade

8. Install Rubies

9. Update PATH

Open .bash_profile and make the following edits

# 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

16. Download a base Ubuntu box for Vagrant

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bits

All done, have fun!
