dotfiles

macOS

1. xcode-select --install and agree, etc, etc.

2. Install Homebrew. Copy latest install line from brew.sh/ or the GH repo

3. Install Homebrew packages:

   brew install \
       pyenv \
       pyenv-virtualenv \
       pyenv-pip-migrate \
       pyenv-ccache \
       ffmpeg \
       xz \
       tcl-tk \
       sqlite3 \
       zlib \
       readline \
       openssl 
   

4. Install Oh My ZSH! Copy latest install line from ohmyz.sh or the GH repo

5. Build a Python or five. I usually install latest patch version of everything not EOL'd, which if the latest is 3.x, also includes 3.x-1, 3.x-2, 3.x-3... See pyenv install --list for what's available, or check endoflife.date:

   # (this is 'one' line/command)
   curl -sSL https://endoflife.date/api/python.json \
   | jq --arg today $(date '+%Y-%m-%d') \
       --raw-output \
       '.[] | select(.eol > $today) | .cycle' \
   | while read ver
   do
       latest_available=$(pyenv install --list \
           | grep -e "^\s*$ver" \
           | tail -1 \
           | xargs \
       )
       echo "$ver >> $latest_available"
       pyenv install --skip-existing $latest_available
   done
   

6. pyenv completions for zsh: pyenv init >> ~/.zshrc

7. Create general-purpose Python virtualenv and set as global default

   $latest=3.12.2
   pyenv virtualenv $latest main
   # be able to launch a specific Python version if desired.
   pyenv global main 3.12.2 3.11.8 3.10.13 3.9.18 3.8.18
   

8. PipX

   1. Install & Configure

      brew install pipx
      pipx ensurepath
      

   2. Install some good stand-alone utils. HTTPie gives http, which is like cURL for the 21st century. Black is just nice to have anywhere if working with Python.

      pipx install \
          httpie \
          black
      

9. Jupyter Notebook

   1. Prep virtualenv

      python -m venv ~/.local/jupyter
      ~/.local/jupyter/bin/python -m pip install jupyter
      

   2. Configure... TODO

10. If you installed VS Code, search for "Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH" and run that so code works on the command line.

syssetup.py

Working on automating more of this for multiple OSs, but I need it so infrequently that it's a bit of playing catch-up every time I get a new computer and needing to update a few packages here and there, which kinda obviates trying to automate it all.

python3 syssetup.py pyenv
python3 syssetup.py install-pybuild-libs
python3 syssetup.py pyenv-install-supported
pyenv virtualenv 3.12.0 global
pyenv global global 3.12.0 3.11.6 3.10.13 3.9.18 3.8.18
