Installation

This is a step-by-step installation guide.

Xcode

Install Xcode through the Mac App Store.

Then run:

xcode-select --install

Dotfiles installation

Next, clone this Git repository, initialize/update the submodules and finally hook everything up by running the install script.

mkdir $HOME/tombruijn
git clone git://github.com:tombruijn/dotfiles.git $HOME/tombruijn/dotfiles
cd $HOME/tombruijn/dotfiles && git submodule init && \
  git submodule update --recursive
./install

This should set up the symlinks from the dotfiles directory to your $HOME directory, do not remove the dotfiles directory.

macOS defaults

Set macOS defaults.

./.macos

Homebrew

Next, install Homebrew using the command listed on the website.

After installing Homebrew, ensure permissions are correct by running the following.

brew bundle

Zsh

Private credentials

To configure credentials that shouldn't be checked into git, create a ~/.extra file like the example below.

#!/bin/sh

export GPG_SIGNING_KEY="KEY_ID"

Now refresh you shell sessions either by opening a new pane or by running reload.

GPG configuration

Transfer your ~/.gnupg directory to the new machine. You need the following files:

private-keys-v1.d/*
pubring.kbx

Fix the permissions of this directory after the move.

chmod 600 ~/.gnupg/*
chmod 700 ~/.gnupg

fzf

To install fzf, use the install script listed in brew info fzf after installing it through brew install fzf.

Say yes to "fuzzy auto-completion" and "key bindings".

vim

Install Neovim.

# Should be installed through the Brewfile, but to do so manually:
brew install neovim

# Additional packages
# Ruby package for neovim
gem install neovim
# Python package for Python bindings (Python is used by UltiSnips)
pip2 install --upgrade neovim

Use vim-plug to install vim plugins.

vim +:PlugInstall

Python

For neovim to pick up Python support Python and the neovim package need to be installed.

pyenv install <latest python version>
pyenv global <latest python version>
pip install --upgrade pip # Updating is just good practice
pip install neovim

chruby and ruby-install

ruby-install ruby [VERSION]

Rust and rustup

Install rustup and with it Rust.

Which Rust version to install depends on the project you're working on.
