New Mac Setup Scripts

Simple guide to automating configuration of your new mac. Because automation is more fun.

Tips borrowed heavily from [here] (http://lapwinglabs.com/blog/hacker-guide-to-setting-up-your-mac)

step 1:

Open a Terminal window and make sure you have the xCode CLI installed: xcode-select --install

Step 2:

Copy the .sh files from this repo to your root user folder.

Step 3:

In the Terminal window run the macconfig script: $ bash macconfig.sh

This installs Homebrew to your system

Step 4:

In the Terminal window run the nixconfig script: $ bash nixconfig.sh

Step 5:

At this point, you need to update your path so that your machine accesses these packages. Paste this snippet into your Terminal: export PATH=$(brew --prefix coreutils)/libexec/gnubin:$PATH

Step 6:

Now you are ready to dowload and install all the apps that make your mac hum: caskconfig.sh

Done!

That's it! Enjoy!
