A small script which you can execute to set up basic tools useful for a freshly-installed mac.
Specifically, it installs the following:
- The xcode command line tools
- homebrew, the "missing package manager for OS X"
To start, run the following in a terminal:
$ curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/OldhamMade/macinit/master/init.sh | sh
Personally I use ansible to manage software installation on my machine.
I do this by first installing dropbox:
$ brew install ansible dropbox
$ open /Applications/Dropbox.app
Once it is set-up (unfortunately a very manual process to sign in, configure settings, and activate local syncing), I can then run:
$ ansible-playbook ~/Dropbox/ansible/playbook.yml
