Quick setup for my development environment 💻

macOS

  • Install Homebrew and some packages with macos/init-setup-macos.sh, which includes calling
    1. macos/install-homebrew.sh - for non-admin setup (install things in ${HOME}/Applications/ instead);
    2. macos/install-brew-packages.sh - for installing selected apps/packages;
    3. set up general config/dot files;
    4. set up aliases - .aliases-macos;
    5. macos/update-dev-env.sh, for additional dev environment setups; e.g., default python/nodejs versions.
  • Set up iTerm2
    1. Install iTerm2 with brew
    2. Enable iTerm2 in VS Code integrated terminal (zsh)
    3. Set up oh-my-zsh with advanced theme (recommended Powerlevel10k)
  • Notes for non-admin setup
    • Two separate Applications folders
      1. /Applications usually requires admin to add apps there.
      2. /Users/<your username>/Applications is where we typically install additional apps without needing admin right.
    • For non-admin setup, either:
      1. Using Homebrew via CLI. To use Homebrew you must install it as a non-root user, essentially letting Homebrew store it’s tools under your user directory. See this macos/install-homebrew.sh.
      2. Websites that provide .dmg files where we drag to the app folder.

Windows + WSL
