Mac install script

Found on 25 March 2023 via Mastodon 450

via llimllib: Every time I set up a new mac, I update my install script that gets things most of the way installed for me.

Here’s the newest version, in case it’s helpful to anybody:

  • ask you for your new computer’s name and set it
  • set a bunch of preferences
  • install homebrew and a base set of packages, both CLI and apps
  • install programming language environments with asdf

The script’s been in (very intermittent) development for 7 years now!

GitHub: The script I use to set up a new mac just the way I like it
