saghul / macOS-setup

My macOS setup, automated with Ansible

macOS Setup

This repository contains my macOS setup. It may work for you, but this one is made for myself. It's not designed to be configurable to tailor anyone's needs except for mine.

Anyone is of course welcome to fork this project and taylor it to their needs.

Prerequisites

• A blank computer running macOS 12.6 (Monterrey)
• Sign-in into the Mac App Store
• Add the Terminal app to the Full Disk Access section on Security And Privacy
• Install the Xcode Command Line Tools: sudo xcode-select --install

Installation

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saghul/macOS-setup/master/install.sh | bash

Advanced

All tasks have a tag attached to them (check main.yml), if one wants to run a single task, run the following:

ansible-playbook main.yml -i inventory -K --tags "mas"

That will just run the mas tag. Multiple tags can be specified (comma separated).

Manual steps

Alas I couldn't automate everything, so here are the things that (still) need to be done manually:

• Configure Spotlight
• Configure screen resolution
