Setup macOS

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

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.

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

• Chrome
• Chrome Canary
• Firefox
• Firefox Beta
• Safari Technology Preview

Coding

• Kaleidoscope for diff visualization
• iTerm for terminal client
• Mou for markdown editing
• Parallels for virtual machines
• Paw for API testing
• Source Tree for Git interactive commit
• Sublime Text 3 for code editing

Essential

• 1Password for password management
• Adobe Photoshop CS6 for image editing
• Alfred for workflow automation
• Dropbox for file syncing
• Evernote for notes
• LICEcap for GIF recording

For fun

• Spotify for music streaming
• VLC for media playing
• WebTorrent for torrent download

Other

• Bartender for menu bar organization
• iStat Menus for system monitoring
• Skype for international calls
• ScreenFlow for screencast recording
• Unarchiver for ZIP, RAR, etc

App Store

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

• CloudApp for file/link sharing
• Divvy for window management
• Keynote for presentations
• iA Write for notes
• TweetDeck for tweet scheduling
• Wunderlist for task managing

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!

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

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

cool dude !

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

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.

brew tap caskroom/versions
brew cask install sublime-text3

amazing work! thanks for the post :)

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.
