    Mac OSX Setup

What to install, from where, and how to get things running on a Mac. This can be adapted to Linux pretty easily.

Easy Installer Packages

A series of packages useful for installing specific tools, add-ons.
# Homebrew http://brew.sh/
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# Node Package Manager https://www.npmjs.com/
brew install node

Text Editors

# Sublime http://www.sublimetext.com/
Sublime is a $70 (currently) text editor. Sublime has access to many advanced packages that integrate functionlity:

File parse checking/linting (automated completeness checking).
Advanced SFTP/FTP allowing custom remote configurations per-subfolder.
Git status indication throughout a file.

# Atom https://atom.io/
Atom is a new free text editor similar in layout and design to Sublime. Atom has comparable functionlity to Sublime, but is still early in development, and ultimately limited in certain ways. However, Atom take Git status integration to a higher level, and allows easier integration of advanced linters. As features continue to improve, Atom will likely beat out Sublime.
# Coda 2 https://panic.com/coda/
Coda is a $99 (currently) text editor. Coda is a fairly simple code editor with syntax highlighting, basic FTP/SFTP, and version control built in. Coda is extremely limited in advanced functionality, e.g. advanced Git & file parse check/linting.

Linters

# PHPCS - PHP Code Sniffer http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer/redirected
PHP Code Sniffer (phpcs) performs parse checking on PHP files. It can be used in conjuction with Sublime or Atom to view parse errors before saving and posting the file to the server. This eliminates most simple PHP errors before they reach the server. However, this will not take care of 100% of Fatal PHP errors (e.g. a function is not included, but used in a file).
Installing with Brew
Add additional homebrew taps (sources)
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
Install PHP with Pear support
OSX already has PHP installed, but it's easier to manage a separate installation especially when you need things like Pear.
$ brew install php56 --with-pear
Install PHP Code Sniffer
$ pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
$ export PATH="$(brew --prefix php56)/bin:$PATH"
# JSCS - Javascript Code Style http://jscs.info/

$ npm install jscs -g
# JSHint http://jshint.com/about/
