New machine setup

Install iTerm2

https://iterm2.com/

Choose default shell

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Install package manager

I use brew:

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

Post installation might ask you to add some lines to your .zprofile like:

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Don't bother, this is already taken care of in my yadm-managed dotfiles. Simply execute eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" (or equivalent) in your current shell session to gain access to the brew binary.

Neovim

brew install neovim

Once we manage dotfiles with yadm, vim will be set as an alias for nvim binary. Until then, just use nvim.

Install yadm

brew install yadm

Pull:

yadm pull

If there are conflicts, resolve them. Expect errors (but yay if not)

Conda

This silently installs without modifying any shell setup scripts (bashrc, etc)

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda.sh -b -p $HOME/miniconda

Re-source and verify with conda

Nerd font

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

In iTerm2, go to preferences, profile, text, and change the font to Hack Nerd Font.
