Setting up a new dev machine

1Password?

When running 1Password for the first time you'll need to get it setup with another device. You can do this via iCloud but you must have iCloud Drive setup or you will receive an iCloud Error.

Instead you can simply run a backup on your other device and transfer the backup to your new computer and start from there.

Mail

When you setup your Mail you'll want to create an application specific password.

Install XCode command line tools

Run this:

xcode-select --install

Click "install" on the popup.

Install XQuartz version of X11

Find the latest release for your operating system: https://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is "The missing package manager for OSX". It allows you to quickly compile and install binaries.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once you have installed brew,

brew doctor

Install git bash completions

brew install git bash-completion

Get Solarized

Make a link for Terminal:

ln -s /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app /Applications/Terminal.app

Solarized is an awesome color scheme you will like. There is a terminal version:

cd ~
mkdir -p Examples
cd Examples
git clone https://github.com/tamul/solarized-osx-terminal-colors.git
open solarized-osx-terminal-colors

Once the Finder window opens you should double click on the Terminal items in the xterm-256color color folder. Once you have opened these the themes are added to Terminal.app. Open the Preferences and choose the one you want and set it as default.

Once you have completed the install of the themes you can delete the created folder.

Setup an ssh key

brew install openssl

Follow Github's Advice.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

Use 1Password to generate a password for the passphrase.

eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Add that password to your Github account:

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Test the key:

ssh -T [email protected]

Hi jeffrafter! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Setup Ruby

brew update
brew install rbenv ruby-build

Afterwards you'll still need to add eval "$(rbenv init -)" to your profile as stated in the caveats. You'll only ever have to do this once.

rbenv install -l
rbenv install 2.1.5
rbenv rehash

When you install gems with binstubs you will need to rehash.

You can change your global ruby as well:

rbenv global 2.1.5

Dotfiles

Setting up the your ~/.* directory quickly makes your life better.

curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/jeffrafter/dotfiles/master/script/bootstrap | sh

Once you have done that you'll want to run the bootstrap:

cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This is going to ask for sudo permission because some of the OSX config settings require sudo (which is generally a no-no). You can adjust the script if needed.

Update the vim submodules:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git submodule init
git submodule update

You can use CtrlP to instead of command-t. It installs a bit manually:

cd ~/.vim
git clone https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim.git bundle/ctrlp.vim

If you are using Command-T you might have trouble with the C extension of Command-T because of the ruby version used to compile it:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make

Installing MacVim

You should install MacVim via Homebrew:

brew install macvim

Replace the icons:

 sudo cp ~/.dotfiles/resources/MacVim.icns /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/

 sudo cp ~/.dotfiles/resources/caffeine/*.png /Applications/Caffeine.app/Contents/Resources/

Something about a cooler icon https://github.com/thilko/vim_config/blob/master/integrate_way_cooler_icon:

MACVIM_TARGET=$(find /usr/local/Cellar -name MacVim.app 2> /dev/null | sort | tail -n 1)
MACVIM_PATH="$MACVIM_TARGET/Contents/Resources/"
cp ~/.dotfiles/resources/MacVim.icns $MACVIM_PATH

Make a shortcut for iOS similator

You know you want it:

ln -s /Avpplications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/iPhone\ Simulator.app /Applications/iOS\ Simulator.app

Other things to brew

brew install wget
brew install imagemagick
brew install ghostscript
brew install gh

Install Pow (optional)

Go to the website: http://pow.cx/manual.html#section_1

curl get.pow.cx | sh

Once you have that you'll need to symlink the current folder to pow.

cd ~/.pow
ln -s ~/Projects/myapp

Install nginx (optional)

You can install nginx via brew:

brew install nginx

Once you have nginx you can start it with sudo nginx or boot it at startup. Make sure your firewall is blocking incoming port 80 so that people outside of your computer cannot see your running application by typing in your local IP address.

You'll want to setup your Nginx config in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

worker_processes  1;

error_log  /usr/local/var/log/nginx.error.log;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    access_log  /usr/local/var/log/nginx.access.log;

    upstream rails {
      server 127.0.0.1:3000;
    }

    upstream nodejs {
      server 127.0.0.1:3700;
    }

    # Any server configuration goes here

}

For each project you will need to add a server declaration. For example, if you are just serving a static page, add the following:

    # Serving a static website
    
    server {
      listen 80;
      server_name static.dev;
      root /Users/username/Projects/static;
      try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri;
      index index.html;
      location / {
      }
    }

If you are serving a Ruby on Rails website:

    # Serving a Ruby on Rails website
    
    server {
      listen 80;
      server_name rails.dev;
      root /Users/username/Projects/rails_root;

      client_body_in_file_only clean;
      client_body_buffer_size 32K;
      client_max_body_size 100M;
      sendfile on;
      send_timeout 300s;

      index        index.html index.htm;

      try_files  $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @rails;

      location @rails {
        proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header  Host             $http_host;
        proxy_redirect    off;
        proxy_pass        http://rails;
      }
      error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    }

If you are serving a Node.js website it is very similar to Rails:

    # Serving a Node.js website
   
    server {
      listen 80;
      server_name nodejs.dev;
      root /dev/null;
      location / {
        proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header  Host             $http_host;
        proxy_set_header  Upgrade          $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header  Connection       "upgrade";
        proxy_redirect    off;
        proxy_pass        http://nodejs;
      }
    }
