Setup

Useful perhaps only to me, but I encourage poking around and forking.

Quick-start Development Environment

NOTE: The following should only be done on machines that don't already have an owner who is a developer. As an administrator, you'll potentially be screwing with their setup.

1. Create a User

1. Log into the machine as an administrator and make a new user in the Users & Groups preference panel:

   Full Name: Matthew McVickar Account Name: (automatic, probably 'matthewmcvickar') Password: ಠ_ಠ

2. Make that user an administrator. This is necessary.

3. Log in as that user for the first time. Click through dialogs. OS X starts.

2. Run Initialization Script

1. Go here. github.com/matthewmcvickar/setup

2. Open Terminal.

3. Copy, paste, and run the initialization script.

   curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matthewmcvickar/setup/master/init.sh | bash

   This does the following:

   • Removes all icons from the Dock.
   • Sets up ~/Sites directory structure.
   • Unhides ~/Library.
   • Installs Homebrew and packages.
     • Git
     • NodeJS
     • Z
   • Configures Git username and email address.
   • Installs Homebrew Cask and desktop apps:
     • Alfred
     • Caffeine
     • Chrome
     • Harvest
     • iTerm
     • 1 Password
     • Sequel Pro
     • Sublime Text
     • TextExpander
   • Sets up Sublime Text command line tool.
   • Fixes permissions on /usr/local/ and ~/.npm to avoid problems with sudo and Node.
   • Installs Grunt, Bower, Node libsass and the SASS Gem.

   If something goes wrong during this process, use the following to uninstall HomeBrew:

   $ curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mxcl/1173223/raw/a833ba44e7be8428d877e58640720ff43c59dbad/uninstall_homebrew.sh | bash

   Then open another window and delete the folders that Homebrew and Homebrew Cask created:

   $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/ /opt/homebrew-cask

3. Configure Finder and Desktop Apps

1. Open Keyboard preferences. Check 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.'

2. Open 1 Password. It will automatically sync to iCloud.

3. Quit Safari. Open Chrome. Get Google password from 1 Password and log in to Chrome.

4. Navigate here to resume following instructions. github.com/matthewmcvickar/setup

5. Get Alfred license key from 1 Password. Open Alfred. Enter license key.

6. In Alfred preferences, set sync to ~/Library/Mobile Documents/. Close Alfred preferences.

7. Link Homebrew Cask to Alfred:

   $ brew cask alfred link

8. Open a Finder window. Open Finder preferences.

   • General
     • New Finder windows show: Desktop
   • Sidebar
     • Hide All My Files.
     • Hide AirDrop.
     • Show home folder.
     • Hide all under Shared.
     • Hide Tags.
   • Advanced
     • Show all filename extensions.

9. Go to ~/Applications. Drag the following applications to the Dock:

   • Chrome
   • iTerm
   • Sublime Text

10. Launch everything in ~/Applications.

11. Quit Terminal. Open iTerm. Update it. Relaunch.

12. Open iTerm preferences and set sync to ~/Library/Mobile Documents/.

13. Open TextExpander. Give it Accessibility access.

14. Relaunch TextExpander. Enter license key from 1 Password.

15. Symlink TextExpander preferences to iCloud version:

    $ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextExpander/
    $ rm Settings.textexpander
    $ ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/Settings.textexpander

4. Install Mac App Store Apps

Unfortunately, there is no way to automate this.

1. Launch the App Store, sign in, and go the Purchases tab to find these apps.

   • Divvy
   • xScope
   • LiveReload
   • Patterns

2. Give Divvy accessibility access in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Accessibility.

3. Launch Divvy. Quit Divvy.

4. Symlink Divvy preferences to iCloud version:

   $ cd ~/Library/Preferences
   $ rm com.mizage.Divvy.plist
   $ killall cfprefsd
   $ ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com.mizage.Divvy.plist

   If this doesn't work, you can export and import Divvy's shortcuts.

   As of 2019-02-10, here is my shortcuts block:

   And the General and Appearance settings:

   

5. Set Up SSH Key, Dotfiles, and Sublime Text Preferences

1. Create a new SSH key.

   $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "matthew@matthewmcvickar.com"
   $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
   $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   $ pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

2. Add SSH key to GitHub settings.

3. Get dotfiles.

   $ cd ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar
   $ git clone https://github.com/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles.git
   $ cd dotfiles
   $ bash ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles/build_dotfiles.sh --force
   $ source ~/.bash_profile

4. Launch Sublime Text. Then quit Sublime Text.

5. Get Sublime Text preferences.

   $ cd ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar/
   $ git clone git@github.com:matthewmcvickar/sublime-text-preferences.git
   $ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages
   $ rm -r User
   $ ln -s ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar/sublime-text-preferences/ User

6. Fix SASS syntax highlighting in Sublime Text:

   sed -i '' '/<string>sass<\/string>/d' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Rails/Ruby\ Haml.tmLanguage

7. Launch Sublime Text.

Set OS X defaults

1. (su)Do it!

   $ cd ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles
   $ ./.osx

2. Restart!

Configure Development Environment Even More

• If you need to install Ruby:

  $ brew install rbenv ruby-build
  $ rbenv install 1.9.3-p484
  $ rbenv global 1.9.3-p484
  $ gem update --system
