macOS environement setup

Personal notes about macOS development environment setup.

Homebrew install

Homebrew setup

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

macOS High Sierra's permissions workaround

As found in this Stack Overflow's post

sudo mkdir /usr/local/include
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*

Git install

Install git throught Homebrew

brew install git

Global .gitignore

Create a global .gitignore file, which is a list of rules for ignoring files in every Git repository on your computer. For example, you might create the file at $~/.gitignore_global$ and add some rules to it.

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

The Octocat has a Gist containing some good rules to add to this file.

zsh Install

brew install zsh
sudo nano /etc/shells

The resulting /etc/shells file should look like this:

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh

The /usr/local/bin/zsh location is the symlink Homebrew creates when installing zsh.

To actually change the shell assigned to the user account run

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh

The install oh-my-zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

install Powerline fonts

On other environments, you can copy and paste these commands to your terminal. Comments are fine too.

    # clone
    git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
    # install
    cd fonts
    ./install.sh
    # clean-up a bit
    cd ..
    rm -rf fonts

Then install https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#option-3-install-script

Ansible setup

sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install ansible

Then create system wide Ansible directory with sudo mkdir /etc/ansible and copy the default Ansible configuration file

sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/ansible.cfg -o /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
