2021/2022 Mac -Quick Setup
Did anyone else get a new laptop this holiday season?
Here are the steps I follow to get setup quickly!
1. Show hidden folders
chflags nohidden ~/Library
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
defaults write com.apple.finder ShowPathbar -bool true
defaults write com.apple.finder ShowStatusBar -bool true
2. Install brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
- Check your path and make sure path includes your brew location.
- Check path:
echo $PATH | tr ":" "
" - Brew location:
which brew
- (Probably something like
/opt/homebrew/bin
) - If the location is missing, then add it to your
~/.zshrc
, like this:export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
- Check path:
3. iTerm & OhMyZsh & Starship
- iTerm:
brew install --cask iterm2
- OhMyZsh:
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
- Starship:
brew install starship
echo 'eval "$(starship init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
- (Install font & then change font in iTerm settings)
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font
4. Node & AWS CLI (for AWS development)
brew install node@16
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
aws configure
(assuming you already have credentials)npm install -g aws-cdk
- auto-complete:
autoload bashcompinit && bashcompinit
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
complete -C '/usr/local/bin/aws_completer' aws
