Laptop is a script to set up your Max OS X laptop as a web development machine.
- Set up dotfiles first, create ~/.path
- OSX Mountain Lion (This is what I'm using so it's the only version I'm targeting, sorry)
- XCode 4.4 - remember to launch XCode and install the command line tools from within prefs. Otherwise rvm will complain that there is
no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH. - X11
- MySQL
If you don't want to get XCode you can try getting the Command Line Tools for Mountain Lion but your milage may vary. You're better off just getting XCode.
Run the script:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/nickcotton/laptop/master/install | sh
- SSH public key (for authenticating with services like Github and Heroku)
- Homebrew (for managing operating system libraries)
- Git
- Git Flow
- PhantomJS (For headless JavaScript testing)
- Ack (for finding things in files)
- ImageMagick (for cropping and resizing images)
- RVM (for managing versions of the Ruby programming language)
- Ruby language (for writing general-purpose code)
- Bunch of commonly used gems (Sass, Compass, Stitch etc...)
- Node (The awesome Javascript runtime)
- NPM (Node package manager)
- Coffeescript
- Bunch of commonly-used node packages
- PHP, Composer and xdebug (https://github.com/josegonzalez/homebrew-php)
It should take about 30 minutes for everything to install, depending on your machine.
- MySQL
- Apache
- Enabling PHP in Apache
- Setting up VirtualHosts
- Apps
The installer doesn't do these things because it's a) Already installed in MacOSX by default or b) It needs admin rights.
Find this line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf starting with:
LoadModule php5_module /some/path
And replace the path with:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php53/5.3.14/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Add this line to the bottom of the file:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
The php.ini file is located in /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php.ini. You'll need to add these settings to the bottom
of the file and restart Apache.

I use VirtualHostX for all of my VirtualHost needs.
First, install the package manager:
import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp=sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs(ipp) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler())); open(os.path.join(ipp,pf),'wb').write(urllib2.urlopen('http://sublime.wbond.net/'+pf.replace(' ','%20')).read()); print 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation'
Here are some recommended packages.
