Note: Ensure macOS is on at least 11.3

For my macOs dev environment setup whilst using java, maven, ant, node, nvm, npm, php, laravel, composer, docker, vagrant, vmware.

This repo contains a variety of shell scripts, some of which contain helper install functions to maintain a consistent development environment ( they are not fully tested).

Tip: Reading through the helper functions is sometimes required as macOs versions change and break these scripts.

Install

Clone into ~/.bash

[ ! -e ~/.bash ] && git clone https://github.com/theodson/macos-setup .bash || echo 'already installed - or choose another install location'

You can manually add ~/.bash/includes.sh and ~/.bash/adhoc.sh to your .bash_profile or .bashrc (adjust path as required) or use the quick start templates.

Quick start templates

A common setup for a quick start is found in the templates folder, run the following

# backup 
mv ~/.bash/adhoc.sh ~/.bash/adhoc.sh.old
mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile.old

# use new templates as starting point
cp ~/.bash/templates/adhoc.sh ~/.bash/adhoc.sh
cp ~/.bash/templates/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile

adhoc.sh

Add adhoc.sh can be used for un-versioned / private settings if you like.

Once cloned into .bash follow these common steps to install the required dependencies, some of which may already be installed on your system.

php

Installing multiple versions of php from 7.0,7.2, 7.4 and 8.0 has become significantly easier on BigSur with the help of shivammathur/php and shivammathur/extensions.

Since: 2021-05-01

PHP installation relies more and more on laravel/valet's use php@n.n and install commands.
A customised valet/ValetPhpFpm.php is installed into the laravel home $HOME/.config/valet/Extensions and overrides some methods to better support our custom install (and fixes a few issues - in time these may disappear with each valet release.)

The switch-php npm package is no longer used.

Two helper functions exist to support installation and re-installation, see php.sh

# to re-install try this - this sequence may need to be rerun
# this will install php 7.0, 7.2, 7.4 and 8.0
  
uninstall_php
install_php
sphp72
sphp74
sphp80

On initial setup a default brew recipe for the latest php and php@7.0 is installed. After that use the sphp<nn> aliases ( see notes below ) to install new versions, e.g

# to install php 7.4
sphp74 

Review the contents of templates/adhoc.sh as you may need to adjust your own adhoc.sh file.

• removal _switch_php_pre_tasks or _switch_php_post_tasks
• introduce PECL_EXTENSIONS for automatic installation during valet use|install tasks.
• introduce BREW_EXTENSIONS for automatic installation during valet use|install tasks.

mv ~/.bash/adhoc.sh ~/.bash/adhoc.sh.pre_big_sur
cp ~/.bash/templates/adhoc.sh ~/.bash/adhoc.sh

Switching php version

The aliases sphp70, sphp72, sphp74, sphp80 exist to switch version.

A macOs task bar tool called Php Monitor is also installed during php_install - see nicoverbruggen/homebrew-cask.

brew tap nicoverbruggen/homebrew-cask
brew install --cask phpmon

Note: the "Php Monitor" toolbar should only be used ONCE each version has been installed via the sphp<nn> commands.

Postgres 9.5

Install Postgres with hashlib

install_postgres 9.5

which does the following

brew reinstall postgresql@9.5
brew services start postgresql@9.5

# follow recommendations outputed, you can be reminded on these with the `info` command
brew info postgresql@9.5

and then hashlib

postgres extension - hashlib

install_postgres_hashlib

redis

brew install redis
brew services start redis

IDEs

brew cask install visual-studio-code postman

TWILIO install

https://www.twilio.com/docs/twilio-cli/quickstart

now part of js_env_install

If you have installed Node.js version 10 or higher on your Mac, you can avoid potential Node.js version conflicts by installing the CLI using npm:

brew uninstall twilio 

# use nvm node version manager
nvm use stable || nvm install stable
nvm use stable && npm install twilio-cli -g

java & jenv

multiple java environments

http://davidcai.github.io/blog/posts/install-multiple-jdk-on-mac/

brew install jenv
# this install openJdk - not Oracle's

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew cask install java
brew cask install java8

jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_192.jdk/Contents/Home/
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/
jenv versions

mysql

brew update
brew install mysql
brew services start mysql
mysql -uroot

Set root password

mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

Test access

mysql -uroot -ppassword

SequelPro Access

SequelPro does not support latest encryption system, so use the older authentication mechanism.

As an aside, an alternative client tool TablePlus does support latest encryption mechanisms used by default. As

# set the password using the older encryption mechanism - to allow SequelPro Access.
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
