Reproducible Mac OS X Environment

"Keep it vanilla" ~Antej

Quick Start

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/greenkidneybean/setup.git
cd setup
sh setup.sh

1. Install X-Code

xcode-select --install

2. Install Homebrew

Install Homebrew and packages listed in Brewfile

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

3. Run Setup Script.

sh setup.sh

Works through setting up:

System preferences: sh scripts/syst_prefs.sh

should setup zsh within system preferences

would also be nice to setup preferences for finder (sidebar and column view)

Homebrew applications: sh scripts/homebrew.sh
Dock preferences: sh scripts/dock.sh
Linking dotfiles: sh scripts/dotfiles.sh

Note:

Each of these scripts can be run individually: scripts/dotfiles.sh
A restart is necessary to update all preferences

4. iTerm2

Preferences -> General -> Preferences -> "Load preferences from a custom folder" ~/.iterm2

5. zsh

For some reason the prompt takes a bit to load, not quick (plugins?)

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

6. Final Touches

zsh setup is currently a shitshow
Simple guide
need to separate .bashrc with some basics and keep a simple .zshrc
must setup the following:
- switch shell to zsh
- install oh-my-zsh
- install autocomplete (and add to zshrc plugins)
Mojave dark menu bar
- Set theme to "Light"
- defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes
- Log out, then back in
- Set theme to "Dark"
Github config
Sudo setup:
- add user to the admin group:
- sudo dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership <username>
- use sudo visudo to add username to sudoers file in /etc/sudoers
  - may need to boot into safe mode, mount encrypted drive, then use vi to add sudo user
setup guide for Mac
make ssh key (add email): ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[EMAIL]"
add to ssh-agent + keychain via ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/github
test via ssh -vT git@github.com

Migration

conda environments

TODO:

wrangle conda environments
setup vim plugins
embed the dotfile repo in this repo
Dotfiles is broken, cd into github and sh setup_dotfiles.sh
- dotfile for ShiftIt?
- remove dotfiles folder from "setup" repo
Homebrew broken (and takes a while)
- run last
- specify location of brewfile or cd into scripts and run homebrew script from there
- sudo needed, borrow from syst_pref.sh file?
System preferences
- Dark mode:
  - defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes
  - Logout, login, set appearance to "Dark"
- add "volume" preferances to menu bar
  - tried adding to step where things are removed
- Finder sidebar and grid lock
- Wallpaper
- Touch to click on trackpad
Setup guide for zsh
Dig-up old .bashrc
customize notificaitons
Specifics/config for Atom?
conda environments
- use miniconda?
- lean base
- r-essentials for r_env
