This project is intended to kickstart the onboarding of new engineers and setup their working station fast so they can start coding straight away.
The following instructions will help you prepare your local development environment and install prerequsites for your local data-stack. While most of the setup is automated, some steps may require manual installations. This environment is intended as a baseline, so personalization and recommendations are welcome.
It is advised to install iTerm2 and Oh My Zsh. This is for convenience, extra commands, and customization of your terminal. For an introduction to customizing your terminal, see this link.
Homebrew is a package manager that mimics the Linux apt-get command, enabling you to install packages from the Terminal rather than manual install.
Ensure that you have XCode Command Line tools installed. You can find the source installation here.
A macOS setup guide specific to front-end development.
Run the installer scripts individually:
./setup.sh✨ And thats it! No need to do anything further.
