macOS setup for Development

Sometimes, I have to reinstall everything I need on brand new Macs or Hackintoshes. After getting tired of doing it – especially tweaking macOS manually, I decided to regroup everything here.

IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Don't run everything blindlessly. I reunited these scripts for my own use, a lot of commands or packages may not suit you. Please fork the project or review the files to comment things you don't want.

Full Installation

If you want to install everything, just do:

git clone git@github.com:kinoute/macos-setup.git
cd macos-setup
bash install.sh

If you can't run the script, you might have to change its attributes. Just do:

chmod +x install.sh

When started, you will be asked for your password just once in order to install/edit several things on macOS.

This script basically calls a few sub-scripts that do their own business listed below.

Manual Installation

If there are some packages or applications you don't want to install, you have two choices:

• Either you edit the installation files and remove the things you don't want ;
• Either you run manually the only installation sub-scripts you're interested in.

Here are all the sub-scripts that are called when running the full installation:

brew.sh

This script first checks if you have homebrew installed on your machine. If not, it downloads and installs it. Then it installs a lot of binaries through homebrew.

To only run this script, do:

cd macos-setup/scripts
bash brew.sh 
# you might need to do chmod +x brew.sh before to run this script

The comments inside the file speak for themselves but to sum up, this script installs:

• A few languages (python, php, zsh) ;
• Updated tools (vim, grep, openssh, screen) ;
• GNU tools (sed, find, locate, xargs...) ;
• Useful binaries (git, imagemagick, pv, rename, tree, jq, ffmpeg, ripgrep, wget, htop, watch...) ;
• Some macOS dev-related apps (iTerm2, Sublime Text, VirtualBox, Brave, Miniconda, VSCode..) ;
• Some random macOS apps (flux, Spotify, VLC, Lulu, Onyx, Transmission, Slack..) ;
• Some Safari extensions (Adguard, Nightlight) ;
• Docker and lazydocker to manage easily our containers/images ;
• The Roboto-Mono font and its powerline version for iTerm 2 / Zsh ;
• macOS Quicklook plugins (markdown, video, csv, zip, Jupyter notebooks, json..) ;
• Tools to fix codes automatically (php-cs-fixer, rubocop, autopep8..) ;
• Optional: Hackintoshes stuff if needed (Karabiner Elements to modify keys).

conda.sh

This script only copies some useful Deep Learning environments to ~/.conda. You can create an environment based one of these files with conda create.

git.sh

This script checks if you have already set up a .gitconfigfile. If not, it copies a .gitignore file containing famous and useful files/folders to ignore on your projects. it also copies a .gitconfig file.
