How I setup a fresh machine for development

November 20, 2024

During my coop I had to setup and run code on too many VMs and Kubernetes pods (With default ubuntu images...). I also had to reset my macbook a few times, so I streamlined my setup process!

MacOS Dev stuff

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

brew update
brew install git node python3 pyenv nvm yarn wget curl zsh tmux htop tree

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
git config --global core.editor "vim"
git config --global push.default upstream

pyenv install 3.11.6
pyenv global 3.11.6
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install virtualenv

brew install --cask docker

source ~/.zshrc

MacOS Misc apps

brew install --cask google-chrome visual-studio-code 1password karabiner-elements discord spotify
brew install dockutil

dockutil --remove all --no-restart
dockutil --add "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app" --no-restart
dockutil --add "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" --no-restart
dockutil --add "/Applications/Discord.app" --no-restart
