Guide for setting up a general Development environment on MacOS

Basic CLI tools / package management

XCode

XCode inclues basic development packages such as git, svn, make etc.

$ xcode-select --install

Most of the packages can (and IMO should) be replaced with a newer version that can be installed mostly through Homebrew.

Homebrew

First install Homebrew (Docs):

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

Then:

$ brew doctor
$ brew update

RVM

For RVM to work we'll need first to install gpg:

$ brew install gnupg2

And then:

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

NOTE: it's recommended to check the official installation guide before installing RVM.

Finally we'll install a default Ruby:

$ rvm install 2.3.3
$ rvm use 2.3.3 --default

Also, one might add gem: --no-rdoc --no-ri to the ~/.gemrc file:

$ echo "gem: --no-rdoc --no-ri" >> ~/.gemrc

Newer versions of CLI tools

cURL

$ brew install curl --with-libssh2 --with-nghttp2 --with-openssl

See brew info curl for more installation options and explanation on the ones above.

Git

$ brew install git

Additionally we'll install tig:

$ brew install tig

Make / cmake

$ brew install autoconf make cmake automake

Gnu core utils

Provide with gnu core utils like greadlink etc.

$ brew install coreutils

Bash / ZSH

The version of Bash that is being shipped with MacOS is an old one. We'll use dscl and not manually alter /ets/shells && chsh (mentioned in this post).

Bash:

$ brew install bash

ZSH:

$ brew install bash

Then, assuming $USER is the user and $NEW_SHELL is the newly installed shell:

$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/$USER UserShell /usr/local/bin/$NEW_SHELL

Then, if you're using iTerm2 (or probably any other advanced terminal emulator) you can also add the newly installed /usr/loca/bin/$NEW_SHELL as the command to run upon startup. For example:

/usr/loca/bin/zsh --login

Tmux setup

First, install tmux:

$ brew install tmux

And reattach-to-user-namespace, for being able to use tmux-yank

$ brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

Then, we'll add some of tpm (tmux plugin manager);

$ mkdir -p ~/.tmux/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

And then add to your tmux config file (~/.tmux.conf):

set-option -g default-command 'reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh'

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm' # https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm */
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-yank' # https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank

# Plugins config
set -g @yank_selection 'primary' # tmux-yank clipboard

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Finally run

$ tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

And (assuming the preferred prefix is Ctrl + b), press Ctrl + b + I (capital I). This will install the plugins (i.e. tmux-yank).

Some apps

NOTE: it's possible to install all/some of the above by using Homebrew Cask Search those with brew cask search <appname>

Vagrant

After installing VirtualBox, get Vagrant and install it. Another option is to use Homebrew Cask:

$ brew cask install vagrant

Then, we'll install some nice plugins:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
$ vagrant plugin install facter

Some more plugins are listed in here

MacOS settings

  • Disable Siri
  • Disable notifications on lock screen: System Preferences -> Notifications, and then on each application's notification settings.
  • Spotlight: disable indexing of unnecessary things; System Preferences -> Spotlight -> General.
