My Mac OSX Setup

This is documentation for my future self. Describes the tools that I use in my daily work and how to install/configure them in a computer with MAC OSX.

Shell

I work with zsh, the default shell in Mac OSX. I use Oh My Zsh to manage its configuration, plugins and themes. You have to install Oh My Zsh via command line as follows:

> sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

To make my shell a little bit prettier I use the free version of Dracula Theme. To install dracula zsh theme using Oh My Zsh run these commands one by one:

> git clone https://github.com/dracula/zsh.git dracula-zsh
> DRACULA_ZSH_THEME=$PWD/dracula-zsh
> ln -s $DRACULA_ZSH_THEME/dracula.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/dracula.zsh-theme

And finally you have to activate the dracula theme by going to your ~/.zshrc file and set ZSH_THEME="dracula".
