bash script that turns a vanilla macbook pro into a complete python/node/ruby developer machine

Requirements

1) Install git from the command line (just type git and hit enter)
2) Pull down this script locally
3) bash installer

What it sets up

• Homebrew for managing operating system libraries
• Python + pip + virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper
• RVM for managing versions of the Ruby programming language
• NodeJS and NVM for writing javascript build tools
• MySQL for storing relational data
• Postgres for storing relational data
• PhantomJS for running javascripts headless
• Ack for finding things in files
• Tmux for saving project state and switching between projects
• Vim 7.4 and jedi installed globally for improved python auto complete
• Exuberant Ctags for indexing files for vim tab completion
• Virtualbox and Vagrant
• Memcached
• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Alfred
• iTerm2

It usually takes around 60 minutes to install (depending on your hardware)

Optional -if you find pip install breaks with a strange error code

1) verify you are running python 2.7.5
2) if you are, brew install python
3) verify you now have python 2.7.6 available in /usr/local/Cellar/python
4) symlink globally to fix the issue apple introduced with Xcode 5.1

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.6/bin/python /usr/bin/python
