Software

Requirements

Sign in to your Apple ID account.

Turn on iCloud sync to add device to the Apple ID account. In the iCloud section, turn on the "Sync Passwords" option.

NOTE(#1): Mac App Store apps (from mas sections inside Brewfile) will not be loaded/installed unless you're signed in to your Apple ID account.

Install

First things first, install:

  1. Brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Activate the shell:

eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)

NOTE(#2): (brew will be accessible via brew PATH-variable after running stow . that will symlink the .zprofile file that includes brew activation).

  1. Run the command:
brew bundle

NOTE(#3): vagrant and vagrant-vmware-utility casks installation will fail unless VPN is turned on.

If VSCode extensions installation fails, install only the VSCode extensions:

cat Brewfile | grep ^vscode | brew bundle --file=-

  1. Install fonts.

  2. Copy the config files: run the stow command from the dotfiles arrangement section instructions.

Note: first zsh launch will be unsuccessful, the error will look similarly to stat /Users/$USER/.zcompdump: stat: No such file or directory.

Tips & Tricks

Brew & Brewfile

Brewfile is a collection of casks/formulas/taps needed to set up the system for user's demands.

brew bundle dump -f writes current system's brew state into a file, brew bundle -v installs the dependencies listed in the Brewfile.

cp ./fonts/nerd/UbuntuMonoNerdFont-Regular.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/

mas – CLI for Mac App Store

List installed Mac App Store Apps:

mas list

Get Mac App Store installed applications without mas CLI tool installed (run from the dotfiles repository root):

cat Brewfile | grep ^mas
