Mac Development Ansible Playbook

Inspired by https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Some things in macOS are slightly difficult to automate, so I still have a few manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.

Installation

1. Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).

2. Install Ansible using brew install ansible or by following Ansible Install Guide:

3. Clone or download this repository to your local drive.

4. Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

5. Run ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass inside this directory. Enter your macOS account password when prompted for the 'BECOME' password.

Note: If some Homebrew commands fail, you might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.
