The What

We have a doc that lists the desktop application we want to install for new hires.

Currently, we install these manually through a web browser. We should determine if we can instead make this part of the laptop setup script, and implement it if we can.

The How

We think we may be able to get Chrome installed with Brew Cask (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask) (a way to use Homebrew to install GUI apps)

We should verify this and see if we can do the same for the other GUI/desktop apps that we need.

It looks like cask is already set up, so it may just work™

It also looks like it may uninstall cask, so we may want to test it.

When setting up for interns, we should try adding a line like:

cask "google-chrome"

and see if it works.

We have IT install these apps ahead of time before they give the laptop to the new hire, so the need for this is low enough that we can close this.
