iTerm2 (better than Terminal)

Once installed, launch it and customize the settings / preferences to your liking. These are my preferred settings:

Appearance
- Theme
  - Minimal
Profiles
- Default
  - General -> Working Directory -> Reuse previous session's directory
  - Colors -> Color Presets -> Dracula (Download the theme in advance here)
  - Colors -> Cursor Color -> #FFFF00
  - Text -> Font -> Monolisa
    - Private download here.
  - Text -> Font Size -> 18
  - Window -> Settings for New Windows -> Columns: 120 / Rows: 30
  - Keys -> Key Mappings -> Presets -> Natural Text Editing
    - This allows me to use the keyboard shortcuts I know and love inside of iTerm2

Bash and bash_profile

Shell

Mac now comes with zsh as the default shell. bash is my preferred shell.

Install Bash and set it as the default

To see what shell is currently your default, run:

echo $SHELL

To install the latest version of bash:

brew install --cask bash

Then, determine where bash got installed:

which bash

This will likely print /usr/local/bin/bash.

We now need to add this to our /etc/shells file so we can set it as our default shell.

Open up the /etc/shells file in vim (a command line text editor) with super user privileges (you will need to type your password after running this command):

sudo vim /etc/shells

This will launch a command line editor. Add /usr/local/bin/bash on the top of the list of shells.

Press ESQ+:wq! to close the file save the changes.

Now that /usr/local/bin/bash is in our /etc/shells file, we can set it as our default shell (you will need to enter your password for this command as well):

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

Now that you've changed your shell, if you open up a new iTerm2 tab or close / re-open iTerm2, you should be presented with a bash shell!

You can run the following to confirm you shell has changed:

echo $SHELL
