Setup macOS

I'm in a hospital in Spain and my MacBook was stolen.

Hospital Commit

Now I bought a new one and need to configure it. I have an AirPort Time Capsule that backs up everything using Time Machine, but I don't want all the crap I had in the old one. So let's get our hands dirty!

1. Update OS to latest version

Make sure everything is up to date.

Software Update

2. Install Xcode and its "Command Line Tools"

  1. Go to App Store and install Xcode.
  2. Open and accept the terms
  3. Then go to the terminal and install "Command Line Tools":
xcode-select --install

Notice this only works for Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) and above. For earlier versions, continue to use the in-app download in Xcode.

3. Install Dotfiles

Visit my Dotfiles repo for instructions.

This will install some useful stuff like zsh shell and lots of plugins using oh-my-zsh. Besides that, it will also set a new theme and some useful aliases for the terminal.

4. Install Softwares

Many softwares can be installed through homebrew-cask which makes the process way simpler:

curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/zenorocha/7159780/raw/5b7eb6d32800c974a2c8f0afc6cadfbf5078f239/softwares.sh | sh

What's included?

Browsers
Coding
Essential
For fun
Other
App Store

Unfortunately some apps aren't available through homebrew-cask, so you need to install it manually.

5. Generate SSH keys for GitHub

Visit GitHub's official guide for instructions.

From that point on you're going to be able to do some git operations with GitHub \o/

6. Set Chrome Canary as default browser

  1. Launch System Preferences
  2. General ➜ Default Web Browser
  3. Select “Chrome Canary” from the drop-down menu

7. Configure Sublime Text

Visit my Sublime Text preferences repo for instructions.

There you can find the whole list of plugins, preferences and snippets.

8. Install Alfred Workflows

Visit my Alfred workflow collection repo for instructions.

9. Set NPM user

npm adduser zenorocha

10. Profit!

:)

Zeno, just a little correction:
In "install softwares" section, I think apps.sh should be softwares.sh, right?

Great setup, btw. =)

Just so you know, you don't have to download xCode to use xcode-select --install. Unless you need the entire IDE, the cli tools including the gcc compiler come by just running that command.

Take a look at this:

Error: No available cask for firefox-aurora
Error: No available cask for google-chrome-canary
Error: No available cask for sublime-text-3
Error: No available cask for source-tree
Error: No available cask for u-torrent

@diessica, just fixed that URL.

I tried it yesterday and still getting errors on firefox-aurora, google-chrome-canary and u-torrent. Could you please fix them. Thanks

@facundofarias

Some of them have changed the name, for example: sourcetree instead of source-tree.

@dhyegocalota

Helped me a lot. Thanks guy.

@lucasmotta

@brunocoelho and @halisz try installing the homebrew-versions... this should enable firefox-aurora and chrome-canary

@zsiddiqi

Thanks Lucas, the home-brew-version did the trick :) Cheers

do you plan to make a version for 10.10. Some apps may changed.

@benjifisher
Copy link

According to the Cask docs you can use --appdir=/Applications to create symlinks in /Applications (default is to use ~/Applications). Isn't that easier than moving them as you recommend? (not tested by me)

Cheers @zenorocha, I've just sorted out my new Mac setup workflow and picked up a few tips here 😄, thanks @lucasmotta for the heads up on homebrew-versions too! 👍

@zenorocha, sublime-text-3 is not working instead sublime-text3 is working, i meant in the softwares.sh the line containing brew cask install sublime-text-3.

mou doesn't seem to support Sierra yet:

osx-1012:~ username$ brew cask install Caskroom/cask/mou
==> Satisfying dependencies
Error: Cask mou depends on macOS release <= 10.11, but you are running release 10.12.
