Custom recipe to get OS X 10.11 El Capitan running from scratch with useful applications and Node.js Developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after fresh install.
- Appearance
- WebStorm
- Xcode & Command Line Tools
- Git & GitHub
- Homebrew
- Node.js Environment
- Electron
- Database & Stores
- Tools
- Applications
- Other Installation Tracks
The best fonts to code:
- Menlo (OS X built-in)
- Mensch coding font
- WebStorm
- Legacy Java 6 for WebStorm (to resolve this issue)
- Twilight 2 Theme
- Download & install
XCode7.0 or latest. - Then open
Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Command Line Toolsor execute in Terminal:
xcode-select --install- Select
Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools(to avoidld: library not found for -lgcc_s.10.5error in working withnpm).
git config --global user.name "Denis Izmaylov"
git config --global user.email "example@izmy.lv"There is 2 ways to configure keys. The first is:
- Create new key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "example@izmy.lv"- Copy public key:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub- Add it to
github.com
The second way was just to backup your ~/.ssh before re-install and restore it now. Be aware - private keys should have 0400 access.
ssh -T git@github.comruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"- Download and install latest stable Node.js build manually or do it by:
brew install node- Install development tools:

brew install redis- Launch:
launchctl load /usr/local/opt/redis/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist- To have launchd start redis at login:

ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents- Try to install with Homebrew:
brew install mongodb- If you could not install with Homebrew try to do it manually:
curl -O https://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.0.4.tgz
tar -zxvf mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.0.4.tgz
mv mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.0.4/ /usr/local/opt/mongodb
export PATH=/usr/local/opt/mongodb/bin:$PATH
echo export PATH=/usr/local/opt/mongodb/bin:\$PATH>~/.bashrc
mkdir -p ~/data/mongodb- Then execute in Terminal:
sudo mongodb --dbpath=~/data/mongodb - Install:
brew install postgres- Launch:
launchctl load /usr/local/opt/postgresql/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist- To have launchd start postgres at login:

ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgentsOne of easiest ways to install apps is using Cask. So let's install it before:
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-caskNow we can install tools by single command. Let's use it.
Open-source QuickLook plugin to generate thumbnails and previews for WebP images. Requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
