Laptop is a script to set up a macOS laptop for web and mobile 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.
We support:
- macOS Big Sur (11.6)
Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older versions are welcome.
Download the script:
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ToppleTheNun/laptop/master/macReview the script (avoid running scripts you haven't read!):
less macExecute the downloaded script:
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.logOptionally, review the log:
less ~/laptop.logOptionally, install ToppleTheNun/dotfiles.
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.
macOS tools:
- Homebrew for managing operating system libraries.
Unix tools:
- Git for version control
- OpenSSL for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
- RCM for managing company and personal dotfiles
- ripgrep for finding things in files
- fish as your shell
It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine).
Your ~/.laptop.local is run at the end of the Laptop script.
Put your customizations there.
For example:
#!/bin/sh
brew bundle --file=- <<EOF
brew "Caskroom/cask/dockertoolbox"
brew "go"
brew "ngrok"
brew "watch"
EOF
default_docker_machine() {
docker-machine ls | grep -Fq "default"
}
if ! default_docker_machine; then
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
fi
default_docker_machine_running() {
default_docker_machine | grep -Fq "Running"
}
if ! default_docker_machine_running; then
docker-machine start default
fi
fancy_echo "Cleaning up old Homebrew formulae ..."
brew cleanup
brew cask cleanup
if [ -r "$HOME/.rcrc" ]; then
fancy_echo "Updating dotfiles ..."
rcup
fiWrite your customizations such that they can be run safely more than once.
See the mac script for examples.
Laptop functions such as fancy_echo and
gem_install_or_update
can be used in your ~/.laptop.local.
See the wiki for more customization examples.
