Developer Laptop Configuration.

This is a relatively simple ansible setup heavily based on https://github.com/zacs/setup as well as scripts from Jack and sproutwrap chef recipes from Andrew.

This setup is intended to install most libraries and applications. After running this a developer should install their own dotfiles and make their own custom configurations.

Set Up

Given you have a laptop you wish to setup you should:

erase the hard drive
install the latest OSX (tested on Yosemite)
join the wireless network
configure the Mac for user, not using Apple ID
run software update
install the latest XCode
run xcode-select --install to install command line tools
continue with the steps below

To install, all you need to do is run bootstrap.sh remotely. It will install some pre-requisites (gcc, Homebrew, git, and Ansible) and will then clone this repo locally (by default it clones into ~/.setup) and run the playbook:

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agworld/setup/master/bootstrap.sh | sh

If you prefer not to run code remotely, you just need to clone the repo down wherever you would like, and run:

$ ./bootstrap.sh

After installing the prerequisites this will run the local playbook for the first time. If for some reason bootstrap.sh barfs, you can run the playbook manually via:

$ ansible-playbook local.yml -K

The -K flag means that Ansible will prompt you for your sudo password before it executes the playbook.

If it's your first time, go brew some coffee or tea because this will take some time building packages.

Manual Steps After Running Ansible

These will gradually become part of the automated ansible script.

Install Rvm & Ruby

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
rvm install ruby-2.1.3

Install Good Font That Doesn't Suck

cd /tmp/
curl https://codeload.github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/zip/1.017R > font.zip
unzip font.zip
open source-code-pro-1.017R/OTF/*
cd -

Don't forget to actually click install to install the font.

Symlink ghostscript fonts

ln -nfs /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fontsx
