Must installs

  • Homebrew for command line installs. It is like apt-get in GNU/Linux. Usually there are nextnextfinish install files provided, but from time to time you will need Homebrew. To install a software like wget just type brew install wget
  • zsh (brew install zsh), oh my zsh

Other Setup Issues

.bashrc and bash_profile

You should set environmental variables and other preparations Read about .bashrc and .bash_profile here or here, see a good example here

I found it here in Windows, where is it in Mac...?

  • Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + del): it is called Activity Monitor. There is a smaller version of it (Force Quit Application manager), you can reach it with Cmd + Option + Esc
  • Total Commander: Double Commander
  • Path and environmental variables: you should use .profile, .bashprofile, .bashrc files

Mac keyboard and shortcuts

  • search application/file: Cmd + Shift
  • show hidden files: Cmd + Shift + . (dot)
