Yosemite Install

This is a fresh install of Yosemite and the steps I took to get my machine back up and running.

Prepare

1. Make a backup on TimeMachine. Fucking hope that it worked
2. Ensure that Dropbox has everything synced
3. Make sure there was nothing needed in the ~/Downloads directory
4. Make sure there was no code that needed to be pushed to GitHub from the ~/Projects directory

Yosemite

1. Download it from the App Store
2. Connect a USB/Drive and title it Untitled
3. sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction ** THIS DOES DELETE EVERYTHING FROM THE USB/DRIVE
4. Reboot and hold down Option
5. Use the utilities to erase the main harddrive
6. Install Yosemite
