Data/GIS Lab MacBook OS X

Forked from thoughtbot's shell script to install homebrew and brew tools, we forked that script to adapt and add additional brew formulas. We also added the installation of anaconda python.

To Run:

$ bash mac

It will take awhile on first run. It first runs thru the mac script and at the end of that file it will run the .laptop.local script. 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.

Todo

Integrate dotfiles and application configuration.

Below are the original instrutions from thoughtbot.

Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up an OS X 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:

• OS X Mavericks (10.9)
• OS X Yosemite (10.10)
• OS X El Capitan (10.11)

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/thoughtbot/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

Mac OS X 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

Heroku tools:

• Heroku Toolbelt and Parity for interacting with the Heroku API

GitHub tools:

• Hub for interacting with the GitHub API

Image tools:

• ImageMagick for cropping and resizing images

Testing tools:

• Qt for headless JavaScript testing via Capybara Webkit

Programming languages 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 "Caskroom/cask/dockertoolbox"
brew "go"
brew "ngrok"
brew "watch"
EOF

default_docker_machine() {
  docker-machine ls | grep -Fq "default"
}

if ! default_docker_machine; then
  docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
fi

default_docker_machine_running() {
  default_docker_machine | grep -Fq "Running"
}

if ! default_docker_machine_running; then
  docker-machine start default
fi

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

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.

Contributing
