The setup of my new laptop
Recently I started working for Das Büro am Draht. That means new colleagues, new office, new challenges, and new computer. I love working with Mac. I want to share my initial setup routine to get started real quick.
# install brew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# deactivate analytics and upgrade
brew analytics off
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cask install java iterm2 vagrant virtualbox virtualbox-extension-pack skype diffmerge docker keepassx
#configure java_home
echo "export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`" >> .bash_profile
#configure git globals
git config --global user.name "my name"
git config --global user.email "some@email.address"
# install zsh
brew install zsh zsh-completions
# maven
brew install maven
# install gem libraries - open
gem install bundler
echo "gem 'squall', git: 'http://github.com/suhailpatel/squall.git'" >> Gemfile
bundle install
After that I configured my iTerm2 following these steps,
Hope you find it useful.
