OS X ENV (re)Install

This is my personal guide to restore my configuration and setup my system for a fresh install. I use it and keep it updated frequently. Hope it will inspire you on your own way =].

Backup

Before a fresh reinstall, don't forget to backup many things. A regular ghost made with CarbonCopyCloner is a good solution, but if you can't, you should save the following :

• MySQL databases (use the script bellow)
• User preferences
  • ~/Library/Application Support
  • ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
  • ~/Library/Fonts
  • ~/Library/Keychains
  • ~/Library/LaunchAgents
  • ~/Library/Preferences
  • ~/Library/QuickLook
• Configs
  • ~/.gitconfig
  • ~/.glacier-cmd
  • ~/.gnupg
  • ~/.pow
  • ~/.powconfig
  • ~/.s3cfg
  • ~/.ssh

Installation

After a clean fresh install (format disk and reinstall the base OS and updates), let's install xtras.

Base

You can restore the previously backuped files. If you do so, don't forget to restore permissions : restart in Restore mode with ⌘+R, open the terminal and launch resetpassword2.

Shell

I use ZSH instead of the legacy bash shell. To do so :

git clone https://github.com/madsgraphics/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
ln -sfv ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/zshrc .zshrc
chsh -s /bin/zsh

Pow

Pow is a tools that combines a local host names resolver (based on the .dev tld) and a rack server for ruby (and others) apps.

echo 'export POW_DST_PORT=88' >> ~/.powconfig
curl get.pow.cx | sh

Homebrew

Homebrew is a package manager for OS X. I use to manage my developer tools, and my desktop apps using its submanager : cask.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
brew tap josegonzalez/php
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap phinze/cask
brew tap caskroom/versions
brew install brew-cask

Development Environment

My development envrionment is a little bit complex due to many languages and apps I use everyday. You can simplify it to adapt it to your requirements.

Do not forget to add launch plist files for daemons. You can add the plist for you http server directly to /Library/LaunchDaemons to start it at boot with root permissions. Use brew info <package> to view extras informations.
