| # Full Mac Setup Process (for Jeff Geerling) | ||
|
|
||
| There are some things in life that just can't be automated... or aren't 100% worth the time :( | ||
|
|
||
| This document covers that, at least in terms of setting up a brand new Mac out of the box. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Initial configuration of a brand new Mac | ||
|
|
||
| Before starting, I completed Apple's mandatory macOS setup wizard (creating a local user account, and optionally signing into my iCloud account). Once on the macOS desktop, I do the following (in order): | ||
|
|
||
| - Install Ansible (following the guide in [README.md](README.md)) | ||
| - **Sign in in App Store** (since `mas` can't sign in automatically) | ||
| - Clone mac-dev-playbook to the Mac: `git clone [email protected]:geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook.git` | ||
| - Drop `config.yml` from `~/Dropbox/Apps/Config` to the playbook (copy over the network or using a USB flash drive). | ||
| - Run the playbook with `--skip-tags post`. | ||
| - If there are errors, you may need to finish up other tasks like installing 'old-fashioned' apps first (since I try to place Photoshop in the Dock and it can't be installed automatically). Then, run the playbook again ;) | ||
| - Start Synchronization tasks: | ||
| - Open Photos and make sure iCloud sync options are correct | ||
| - Open Music, make sure computer is authorized, and set Library sync options | ||
| - Open Dropbox, sign in, and set up sync | ||
| - Install old-fashioned apps: | ||
| - Install [Creative Cloud](https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud) | ||
| - Install Photoshop/Illustrator manually | ||
| - (If required:) | ||
| - Install [Elgato Stream Deck](https://www.elgato.com/en/downloads) | ||
| - Open Livestream profile inside `~/Dropbox/Apps/Config/Stream Deck` | ||
| - Install [Elgato Key Light Air (Control Center)](https://www.elgato.com/en/downloads) | ||
| - Install [Autodesk Fusion 360](https://www.autodesk.com) | ||
| - Install Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 (https://account.microsoft.com/services/) | ||
| - Install [Fritzing](https://fritzing.org/download/) | ||
| - Install Meshmixer (but it looks like it's gone now!) | ||
| - Configure FastMail account: | ||
| - Log into Fastmail | ||
| - Go to settings, go to the setup page for macOS Mail | ||
| - Download the profile and double click to install | ||
| - Head to the 'Profiles' System Preference pane and click install | ||
| - Open Calendar and enable personal Google CalDAV account (you have to manually sign in). | ||
| - Manually copy `~/Development` folder from another Mac (to save time). | ||
| - Manual settings to automate someday: | ||
| - System Preferences: | ||
| - Accessibility > Display > Reduce transparency | ||
| - Keyboard > Modifier Keys... > Caps Lock to Esc | ||
| - Safari: | ||
| - View > Show Status Bar | ||
| - Preferences > Advanced > "Show full website address" | ||
| - Preferences > Advanced > "Show Develop menu in menu bar" | ||
| - Dock: | ||
| - Add jgeerling, Downloads, Applications, and Video Projects folders | ||
| - Terminal: | ||
| - Preferences > Profiles > Set JJG-Term as the default theme | ||
| - _After Dropbox Sync completes_: Run the playbook with `--tags post` to complete setup. | ||
| - Symlink the synchronized `config.yml` into the playbook dir: `ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/mac-dev-playbook/config.yml /Users/jgeerling/Development/mac-dev-playbook/config.yml` | ||
| - These things might be automatable, but I do them manually right now: | ||
| - Configure Time Machine backup drive and [Time Machine Editor](https://tclementdev.com/timemachineeditor/) (if needed) | ||
| - Install Wireguard from App Store and add configuration (if needed) | ||
|
|
||
| ## To Wrap in Post-provision automation | ||
|
|
||
| The following tasks have to wait for the initial Dropbox sync to complete before they'll succeed. So ideally I'll stick this all in a post-provision script but somehow flag it not to run on first provision. | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| # ZSH Aliases. | ||
| ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/.aliases /Users/jgeerling/.aliases | ||
| # Electrum BTC Wallet. | ||
| ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Electrum/default_wallet /Users/jgeerling/.electrum/wallets/default_wallet | ||
| # SSH setup. | ||
| ssh-keygen # and create a default key to set up .ssh folder | ||
| sudo ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/ssh/config ~/.ssh/config | ||
| # TODO - Manually copy any shared SSH keys that are needed. | ||
| # Ansible setup. | ||
| sudo mkdir -p /etc/ansible | ||
| sudo ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/ansible/ansible.cfg /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg | ||
| sudo ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/ansible/hosts /etc/ansible/hosts | ||
| sudo ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/VMs/roles /etc/ansible/roles | ||
| mkdir -p /Users/jgeerling/.ansible | ||
| ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/ansible/galaxy_token /Users/jgeerling/.ansible/galaxy_token | ||
| ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/ansible/mm-vault-password.txt /Users/jgeerling/.ansible/mm-vault-password.txt | ||
| ln -s /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/VMs/ /Users/jgeerling/.ansible/collections | ||
| # Final Cut Pro setup. (Open Motion first) | ||
| cp -r /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/Motion/Motion\ Templates.localized/ /Users/jgeerling/Movies/Motion\ Templates.localized/ | ||
| cp -r /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/Motion/Text\ Styles/ /Users/jgeerling/Library/Application\ Support/Motion/Library/Text\ Styles.localized/ | ||
| # Sequel Ace favorites. (Open Sequel Ace first) | ||
| cp /Users/jgeerling/Dropbox/Apps/Config/Sequel\ Ace/Favorites.plist /Users/jgeerling/Library/Containers/com.sequel-ace.sequel-ace/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Ace/Data/Favorites.plist | ||
| # Font setup. | ||
| cp ~/Dropbox/Apps/Config/Fonts/* ~/Library/Fonts/ | ||
| # Vim setup. | ||
| mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload | ||
| mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle | ||
| cd ~/.vim/autoload | ||
| curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim > pathogen.vim | ||
| cd ~/.vim/bundle | ||
| git clone git://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## When formatting old Mac | ||
|
|
||
| - Sign out of Adobe Creative Cloud | ||
| - Sign out of Panic Sync in Transmit | ||
| - Deauthorize Apple Music in iTunes/Music App | ||
| - Make sure anything new merged into `~/Dropbox/Apps/Config`: | ||
| - Fonts from ~/Library/Fonts | ||
| - Motion Plugins from ~/Movies/Motion | ||
| - Final Cut Pro Text Styles in ~/Library/Application Support/Motion/Library/Text Styles | ||
| - Sequel Ace shortcuts from ~/Library/Containers/com.sequel-ace.sequel-ace/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Ace/Data/Favorites.plist | ||
| - Follow Apple's guide (TODO) |
