What is it?

A few shell scripts that can install various mac apps with minimal user intervention. They were written by and for a ruby developer. The ruby developer who brought you ruby switcher.

Getting started

To get the basics that you need as a ruby developer execute the following:

1. Install XCode. Apple requires authentication but doesn't accept http basic auth so I can't automate that step.

2. Execute:

   curl -L http://github.com/muness/scorched_leopard/tree/master%2Fsetup.sh?raw=true?raw=true > ./setup.sh
   curl -L http://github.com/muness/scorched_leopard/tree/master%2Fapp_installers.sh?raw=true?raw=true > ./app_installers.sh
           echo "source ./app_installers.sh" >> ~/.bash_profile
   ./setup.sh
   

And the following will be installed:

• Ack
• Adium
• Firefox
• Mac Ports (including the mysql, postgres and git ports)
• Ruby Switcher (and ruby 1.8.6, RubyGems, rake, mysql and postgres gems)
• TextMate

I want MORE

e.g. :

curl -L http://github.com/muness/scorched_leopard/tree/master%2Fapp_installers.sh?raw=true?raw=true > /tmp/app_installers.sh
source /tmp/app_installers.sh
install_qsb # or another of the functions listed below

Here's the list of additional apps that app_installers.sh knows how to install:

install_iterm      # iTerm
install_chrome     # Google Chrome
install_gitx       # GitX
install_mvim       # MacVim
install_qsb        # Google Quick Search Box
install_sizeup     # Sizeup
install_stuf       # Stuf
install_taskpaper  # TaskPaper
install_true_crypt # TrueCrypt # Note: this asks for user input while mounting the dmg

License

Simple:

• You cannot and will not blame me if these scripts don't work.
• You can fork at will as long as you give me credit for the original work.

TODO

• Split out Mysql, postgres setup
• make mount/unmount specify volume name
• extract common code in installers @maybe
• pull out (all?) functions from setup.sh to app_installers.sh so they can be sourced separately
• check that postgres really starts up
