A script to set up a macOS laptop for development.
It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.
Forked from here
We support:
- macOS Big Sur (11)
- macOS Catalina (10.15)
Older versions may work but aren't tested.
(These commands should be run in Terminal)
To open Terminal:
- Press Command+Space and search for Terminal.
- Hit enter
Copy the below command into Terminal and hit enter:
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexgyllos/mac-setup/develop/macThen copy the below command into Terminal and hit enter:
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.logYou will need to enter your computer password a few times throughout the script to allow installations
You are all set 🎉🎉🎉 - it should take less than 15 minutes to install (though this depends on your machine).
At the end of the installation script, another script will run to attempt to check if any applications failed to install. (occasionally may claim some application are missing that aren't)
You can repeat this by running the following lines in terminal (although it's not required):
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexgyllos/mac-setup/develop/laptop_install_test
sh laptop_install_testNB: If you have any issues with running these scripts, please reach out to your AND Onboarding Admin.
