Laptop is a script to set up an macOS 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.
We support:
- macOS Mavericks (10.9)
- macOS Yosemite (10.10)
- macOS El Capitan (10.11)
Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older versions are welcome.
Download, review, then execute the script:
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abletech/laptop/master/mac
less mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log
Optionally, install thoughtbot/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.

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
fi
Write 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.
Edit the mac
file.
Document in the README.md
file.
Follow shell style guidelines by using ShellCheck and Syntastic.
brew install shellcheck
