Mac Setup

Fonts

Check out Adobe Fonts.

brew tap caskroom/fonts && brew cask install font-source-code-pro

Python

We never want to use the system Python, nor do we want to mess around with it. Instead, we want to install a separate version of python for our own development. Easy way is to use pyenv

brew install pyenv

Install python.

# or
pyenv install <version-of-python>
pyenv install 3.9.0

List installed versions.

pyenv versions

As per the instructions in https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/, add the following to ~/.bashrc: or ~/.zshrc

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"

To set the Python version

pyenv global 3.0.9    // global version
pyenv local 3.0.9     // local version

Java

Use Jenv to manage versions of Java.
