Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up an macOS laptop for web development.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

Requirements

We support:

  • macOS Mavericks (10.9)
  • macOS Yosemite (10.10)
  • macOS El Capitan (10.11)
  • macOS Sierra (10.12)

Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older versions are welcome.

Install

Download, review, then execute the script:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brendanwb/laptop/master/mac
less mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

Optionally, install thoughtbot/dotfiles.

Debugging

Your last Laptop run will be saved to ~/laptop.log. Read through it to see if you can debug the issue yourself. If not, copy the lines where the script failed into a new GitHub Issue for us. Or, attach the whole log file as an attachment.

What it sets up

macOS tools:

  • Homebrew for managing operating system libraries.

Unix tools:

  • Exuberant Ctags for indexing files for vim tab completion
  • Git for version control
  • OpenSSL for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
  • RCM for managing company and personal dotfiles
  • The Silver Searcher for finding things in files
  • Tmux for saving project state and switching between projects
  • Zsh as your shell

GitHub tools:

  • Hub for interacting with the GitHub API

Image tools:

Programming languages, package managers, and configuration:

  • Bundler for managing Ruby libraries
  • Node.js and NPM, for running apps and installing JavaScript packages
  • Rbenv for managing versions of Ruby
  • Ruby Build for installing Rubies
  • Ruby stable for writing general-purpose code

Databases:

  • Postgres for storing relational data
  • Redis for storing key-value data

It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine).

Customize in ~/.laptop.local

Your ~/.laptop.local is run at the end of the Laptop script. Put your customizations there. For example:

#!/bin/sh

brew bundle --file=- <<EOF
  brew "elixir"
  brew "ansible"
  brew "ffmpeg"
  brew "youtube-dl"
EOF

brew cask install iterm2
brew cask install google-chrome
brew cask install slack
brew cask install Alfred
brew cask install caffeine
brew cask install timer
brew cask install flux
brew cask install whatsapp
brew cask install gpgtools

if [ ! -d "$HOME/wellbe/" ] && [ -f "$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa" ]; then
  fancy_echo "Adding Wellbe Refactor ..."
  git clone [email protected]:Wellbeme/wellbe-refactor.git ~/wellbe/
fi

fancy_echo "Setting up Postgres ..."
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql94.plist
createuser -s -P wellbe

fancy_echo "Setting up Redis ..."
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

fancy_echo "Cleaning up old Homebrew formulae ..."
brew cleanup
brew cask cleanup

fancy_echo "Pulling down dotfiles ..."
if [ ! -d $HOME/dotfiles" ]; then
  git clone [email protected]:brendanwb/dotfiles.git
fi

if [ -r "$HOME/.rcrc" ]; then
  fancy_echo "Updating dotfiles ..."
  rcup
fi

Write your customizations such that they can be run safely more than once. See the mac script for examples.

Laptop functions such as fancy_echo and gem_install_or_update can be used in your ~/.laptop.local.

See the wiki for more customization examples.
