Setting up a new mac

Requirements

1. Install Package Manager

• /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

1. Update brew:

• brew update

Install Script

There's a script for all most of the things.

1. Inspect and comment out / replace the programs you don't want. This starting point.
2. Execute the install script by copying and running the script in this gist: sh ./macos-setup.sh

Post-Install Steps

Fix Bash Shell and set as Default

In the install script you got an updated version of the bash shell. Now make that the default:

1. Edit the shells file: sudo vim /etc/shells
2. Append the file with a new line: /usr/local/bin/bash and save.
3. Change to this new shell: chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash.
4. Restart your terminal emulator (iterm2)

Note: /usr/local/bin/bash: new version for use in scripts

Browser Extensions

I use the following browser extensions:

• gitako
• dark reader
• bitwarden
• momentum

iTerm2

1. Preferences > Profiles > Colors: set theme to "Pastel Dark Background"
2. Preferences > Profiles > Text: set font to Fira Code 14 pt
3. Preferences > Profiles > Session.

• Turn on Status bar enabled
• Then click Configure Status Bar to begin setting up your status bar configuration.
