Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up an OS X laptop for web 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.

It is based on thoughtbot/laptop.

Mac Requirements

Make sure that you've installed XCode before running the laptop script. If you've not installed XCode, you will see the following error message:

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

Base Install

Note: there may be times you need to enter your password

git clone git@github.com:policygenius/laptop.git
cd laptop
sh mac.sh 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

In order to ensure consistent Docker environment, it should be downloaded manually from the Docker website.

Mac Download Windows Download

kutil Install

pushd /usr/local/bin
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/policygenius/laptop/master/kutil.rb
mv kutil{.rb,}
chmod +x kutil

Debugging

Your last Laptop run will be saved to ~/laptop.log. Read through it to see if you can debug the issue yourself. If not, copy the lines where the script failed into a new GitHub Issue for us. Or, attach the whole log file as an attachment.
