#Basic OSX setup and tools for development

These are the tools I use to be productive while writing code on a Mac. I wanted to write them down in case I need to set up a computer again from scratch, or in case it could be helpful to share with anyone else.

##Command line tools

• iTerm2 http://iterm2.com/
• OSX command line tools xcode-select --install
• YADR https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles
• Install Solarized theme for iTerm

Or custom install of the individual components (haven't tried this. would require more configuration)

• Homebrew ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
• zsh brew install zsh
• prezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto

##Dev environment tools

• macvim brew install macvim
• node brew install node

###Python setup

• python virtualenv sudo pip install virtualenv
• python virtualenvwrapper sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper Edit .zprofile vim ~/.zprofile and add

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh

Good article about setup from NPR here

• connect to Github via SSH keys https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/
• postgresql brew install postgresql more useful tips from NPR to add to .zprofile

Easy Postgres shortcut

alias pgdown='pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast'
alias pgup='pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start'

Install grunt-cli, grunt-init and bower

npm install -g grunt-cli bower grunt-init
