Mac OS X is a Unix-based operatng system, built on technology developed at NeXT between the second half of the 1980s and Apple's purchase of the company in early 1996. It received UNIX 03 certfcaton following its 10.5 version on Intel processors – Mac OS X “Leopard”. How to Remove RTSMACX 1.1.3 on Mac OS X. Removals on Mac OS X are quite different from those on Microsoft Windows OS. This page can help you understand the basic knowledge of system maintenance, guiding you through the confusion of removal problems.

Motivation

Setting up a new developer machine can be an ad-hoc, manual, and time-consuming process. dev-setup aims to simplify the process with easy-to-understand instructions and dotfiles/scripts to automate the setup of the following:

OS X updates and Xcode Command Line Tools
OS X defaults geared towards developers
Developer tools: Vim, bash, tab completion, curl, git, GNU core utils, Python, Ruby, etc
Developer apps: iTerm2, Sublime Text, Atom, VirtualBox, Vagrant, Docker, Chrome, etc
Python data analysis: IPython Notebook, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, etc
Big Data platforms: Spark (with IPython Notebook integration) and MapReduce
Cloud services: Amazon Web Services (Boto, AWS CLI, S3cmd, etc) and Heroku
Common data stores: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch
Javascript web development: Node.js, JSHint, and Less
Android development: Java, Android SDK, Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA

But..I Don't Need All These Tools!

dev-setup is geared to be more of an organized reference of various developer tools.

You're not meant to install everything.

If you're interested in automation, dev-setup provides a customizable setup script. There's really no one-size-fits-all solution for developers so you're encouraged to make tweaks to suit your needs.

For Automation, What About Vagrant, Docker, or Boxen?

Vagrant and Docker are great tools and are set up by this repo. I've found that Vagrant works well to ensure dev matches up with test and production tiers. I've only started playing around with Docker for side projects and it looks very promising. However, for Mac users, Docker and Vagrant both rely on virtual machines, which have their own considerations/pros/cons.

Boxen is a cool solution, although some might find it better geared towards 'more mature companies or devops teams'. I've seen some discussions of difficulties as it is using Puppet under the hood.

This repo takes a more light-weight approach to automation using a combination of Homebrew, Homebrew Cask, and shell scripts to do basic system setup. It also provides easy-to understand instructions for installation, configuration, and usage for each developer app or tool.

Sections Summary

Section 1 contains the dotfiles/scripts and instructions to set up your system.
Sections 2 through 7 detail more information about installation, configuration, and usage for topics in Section 1.

Section 1: Installation

Scripts tested on OS X 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan.

bootstrap.sh script
- Syncs dev-setup to your local home directory ~
osxprep.sh script
- Updates OS X and installs Xcode command line tools
brew.sh script
- Installs common Homebrew formulae and apps
osx.sh script
- Sets up OS X defaults geared towards developers
pydata.sh script
- Sets up python for data analysis
aws.sh script
- Sets up Spark, Hadoop MapReduce, and Amazon Web Services
datastores.sh script
- Sets up common data stores
web.sh script
- Sets up JavaScript web development
android.sh script
- Sets up Android development

Section 2: General Apps and Tools

Section 3: Python Data Analysis

Section 4: Big Data, AWS, and Heroku

Section 5: Data Stores

Section 6: JavaScript Web Development

Section 7: Android Development

Section 8: Misc

Section 1: Installation

Single Setup Script

Running with Git

Clone the Repo

Run the .dots Script with Command Line Arguments

Since you probably don't want to install every section, the .dots script supports command line arguments to run only specified sections. Simply pass in the scripts that you want to install. Below are some examples.

For more customization, you can clone or fork the repo and tweak the .dots script and its associated components to suit your needs.

Run all:

Run bootstrap.sh, osxprep.sh, brew.sh, and osx.sh:

Run bootstrap.sh, osxprep.sh, brew.sh, and osx.sh, pydata.sh, aws.sh, and datastores.sh:

Running without Git

Scripts

.dots
- Runs specified scripts
bootstrap.sh
- Syncs dev-setup to your local home directory ~
osxprep.sh
- Updates OS X and installs Xcode command line tools
brew.sh
- Installs common Homebrew formulae and apps
osx.sh
- Sets up OS X defaults geared towards developers
pydata.sh
- Sets up python for data analysis
aws.sh
- Sets up Spark, Hadoop MapReduce, and Amazon Web Services
datastores.sh
- Sets up common data stores
web.sh
- Sets up JavaScript web development
android.sh
- Sets up Android development

Notes:

.dots will initially prompt you to enter your password.
.dots might ask you to re-enter your password at certain stages of the installation.
If OS X updates require a restart, simply run .dots again to resume where you left off.
When installing the Xcode command line tools, a dialog box will confirm installation.
- Once Xcode is installed, follow the instructions on the terminal to continue.
.dots runs brew.sh, which takes awhile to complete as some formulae need to be installed from source.
When .dots completes, be sure to restart your computer for all updates to take effect.

I encourage you to read through Section 1 so you have a better idea of what each installation script does. The following discussions describe in greater detail what is executed when running the .dots script.

bootstrap.sh script

The bootstrap.sh script will sync the dev-setup repo to your local home directory. This will include customizations for Vim, bash, curl, git, tab completion, aliases, a number of utility functions, etc. Section 2 of this repo describes some of the customizations.

Running with Git

First, fork or clone the repo. The bootstrap.sh script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder ~:

To update later on, just run that command again.

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

Running without Git

To sync dev-setup to your local home directory without Git, run the following:

To update later on, just run that command again.

Optional: Specify PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

Optional: Add Custom Commands

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra lo
