Setup MacOs With Ansible

A lot of the stuff here is taken from the great "Red Shirt Jeff"s Repository: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

1. Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).

2. Install Ansible: TODO /opt/homebrew/bin not needed in path? a) Run the following command to add Python 3 to your $PATH: export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.8/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"

   b) Upgrade Pip and install Ansible: sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip && pip3 install ansible

3. Clone this repository to your home folder: cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/jckleiner/config.git

4. TODO add your password to the playbook for casks. nano ~/config/setup/macos-ansible/roles/homebrew/defaults/main.yml and add your password to ansible_become_password

5. Run: cd ~/config/setup/macos-ansible && ansible-playbook -v --ask-become-pass setup.yml

   • -v to get more information from the commands
   • --ask-become-pass asks your password once
