Users can currently fork or clone the repo and tweak the .dots file directly, but it was suggested that it might be helpful to have this available as a command line argument.
Please add the macos dotfile and update the dot-script
.dots contains the following:
if [ $ARG == "bootstrap" ] || [ $ARG == "all" ]; then
cd ~ && curl -#L https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,LICENSE}
I use this scenario:
$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup.git
$ cd dev-setup
$ git checkout david
# personalise my dev-setup, remove some stuff from brew.sh, add something else...
$ git commit -a -m "my personalized dev-setup"
$ ./.dots all
here I would expect to execute my personalized setup, as I am executing the setup from my ~/dev-setup directory. Instead, .dots downloads the scripts again from your github repo.
this does not make sense to me. If that's the behaviour you want, then you should provide a .dots file separately from this repo. If I execute the script from my ~/dev-setup directory, I expect all the installation scripts in that directory to be used, not only the .dots script.
also, the script copies all .dot files to the home directory. that makes sense. but it also copies all the installation scripts, and executes them from there. i think it would be better to execute the scripts from the dev-setup directory. once the installation is done, I want to have all .dot files in the home directory, but not the installation scripts. Also, the main script could be named differently, for instance setup.sh instead of .dots (I guess that at the beginning .dots was only copying .dot files and later you also installed programs, but now the script name is misleading).
did you plan to make such changes or it is not in line with your idea?
do you want me to make a pull request on this?
While running pydata.sh script the installation fails for virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.
It says Permission Denied.
Is anyone facing this issue.?
I like your scripts. dots is very easy to use and for me it provides an efficient way to setup my machine. Thank you for it!
However my first experience was not as smooth as it could be. I installed xcode to prepare for this. After that I ran dots and it complained a lot that it could not find brew. Unfortunately it did not stop and left my machine in a unusable state. Only when I attempted to manually install homebrew it told me to approve the xcode license. This is probably a simple improvement but could save a lot of pain for new mac users like me.

Hi.
In osxprep.sh#L13,
sudo softwareupdate -iva
But I found,
$ sudo softwareupdate -v
softwareupdate: invalid option -- v
$ defaults read loginwindow SystemVersionStampAsString
10.12.6
Same error occured on 10.13.3.
We might need detect osx version and switch options, or simply delete -v.
I don't have other osx so I cannot confirm from which version this error occurs.
Hi, I was just reading the bash scripts and I noticed you use brew to install several apps while you keep alive the sudo session.
Is this ok?
Since I remember brew recommends do not use sudo to install apps, how you handle this?

In the iTerm2 section (https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup#iterm2), where it says:
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/donnemartin/mac-dev-setup/master/.aliases

Great README by the way.
Hi Everyone,
I'll be temporarily unavailable starting April 17 and won't be able to respond to issues or pull requests. I'm hoping I'll be available in a couple of weeks, but I might not be responsive for several weeks.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was just trying to install all without changing anything and got:
Setting up JavaScript web development environment.
------------------------------
./.dots: line 88: ./webdev.sh: No such file or directory
------------------------------
Setting up Android development environment.
I think it meant to call web.sh instead.
I used bootstrap.sh and I found that all the repo files appeared in ~ directory. Do I need to delete these files?
Thank you!
Hi.
Let me start by saying that I really love what you've done (and are still doing) here.
I'm putting together a 'small' gitbook on Bash Scripting and I was wondering if I could use your project for demonstration purposes?
Mind that I will break it apart and most likely modify quite a few things, but it will end up doing the exact same thing, but with things I need on my dev machine added and those I don't need eliminated.
If you agree to this, how should I proceed? Fork the project and create my own repo and keep you posted on updates and make a pull request for the changes you like? Or any other suggestion on making a 'collaboration' as smooth as possible?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Automated steps:
I ran the osx.h script on a freshly installed mac, and it instantly became unresponsive. Restarting didn't help, as it never got past the login screen (filevault on). I tried again commenting out the SSD parts and the screen parts, and it happened again.
I could not debug it further than this, as I had to basically reinstall OSX again
I need to setup 10 new Macs and I've looked at various solutions including boxen and other shell scripts. This is by far the best solution (for my purposes) that I've seen.
If I wanted to install zsh and oh-my-zsh, what would I have to do (besides installing zsh via homebrew)? Specifically, what's the best place to run the oh-my-zsh installer script?
Thanks for the great work.

This is an enhancement request.
Can you include the instructions to install the quick look plugins as a post installation/set up step? I have found this immensely helpful, as a developer.
==> Pouring aircrack-ng-1.1_2.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
Run airodump-ng-oui-update install or update the Airodump-ng OUI file.
==> Summary

bfg: Java 1.7+ is required to install this formula.
You can install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install Caskroom/cask/java
You can download from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
As far as I am aware none of the prior scripts in the instructions take care of installing Java, should either include this or list it as a prereq in docs.
It seems when the brew gets to the iterm2 section it will install the latest java by default as well.
Hi there,
Having run dev-setup on a few machines now (thanks! loving it so far) I've noticed that installs require typing the sudo password at various points, making unattended installs impossible.
A solution we used in Boxen for this problem was to ask for the user's sudo password at the beginning (using sudo -p) and periodically call sudo -p to prevent timeout or prompt the user again. Happy to put up a PR if you're interested.
How do I remove everything completely and start from scratch?
Just for kicks
I have had about 5 of these issues plus many more within the first 5 hours of using this. now i have to reformat again and just download everything manually.
it is a shame because it is a really good idea but there are just way too many conflicts, particularly pertaining to virtualbox stuff, python, and bash.
maybe leave that out.. the custom script option was too complicated to edit so i just ran --all
Given that you're using rbenv, I was wondering why you're not using pyenv? I've found it to be invaluable especially working back and forth between python 2 and 3 pretty extensively. After all, we should all be starting new projects in python 3, right?
The source code is well maintained and nearly identical to rbenv. The rbenv HEAD is even merged in periodically.
The installation is entirely identical with the exception that python-build (like ruby-build) is included in the pyenv package :)
brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper # not necessary, but a nicety
pyenv install -l # list python versions
pyenv install 2.7.10
pyenv install 3.5.0
pyenv global 2.7.10 3.5.0 # sets global python2 and python3
Please let me know if you'd like me to submit a PR!
P.S. Love the repository, I've been trying to maintain a similar repo: https://github.com/AlJohri/dotfiles/blob/gh-pages/Brewfile
You should consider using the brew bundle command instead of brew.sh. (its pretty new, released within the last year).

Every time I open my terminal prompt, I am getting this error and all my attempt to resolve it has failed. Anyone seen this before?
-bash: /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh: No such file or directory

Thanks

if I understood it corretly from README.MD, we can install like this:
$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup.git && cd dev-setup
$ ./.dots bootstrap osxprep brew osx
and later when we need datastores, we run
$ cd ~/dev-setup
$ ./.dots datastores
I understand that bootstrap copies the dot files to the home directory, such as .bash_profile and .exports.
but why do you also copy the installation scripts, such as .dots and datastores to the home directory, if we are always going to execute them from ~/dev-setup/ (as they can be updated from git)?
It would be nice to have Go included in this package
This looks like this might be a dead or dying project but I find the feature very useful when it is needed. Unfortunately when you need this is only once every couple of years. However, with the premise of a community project, it needs to be up to date practically daily.
That said, it looks like within a half-day this project could be cleaned up - bug fixes closed, PRs doctored or merged/closed. I would be happy to handle this for now but perhaps transferring ownership or showing a little more TLC once a week could really help a ton of other engineers developers found starting a new job or setting up a new machine at home they just bought. Thoughts?
it's important for a script to exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status,
otherwise results are unpredictable.
this can be achieved by adding set -e at the beginning of all bash scripts
I tried 3 times and I still got error like below.
Meanwhile my terminal showed above message every time.
My system info as below:
macOS High Sierra 10.13.5
@donnemartin : I really liked your iTerm2 theme, it's really beautiful. since I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-terminal, How can I get the same theme with font and colour in the gnome terminal?
This seemed to remove sublime text, chrome and spectacleapp that i'd installed prior to running .dots. It seems to remove non-default installed apps.
Is it possible to remove and revert then install all over again? Please tell me how. Thank you.
After running the setup on a fresh MacOS Mojave installation i now get a long list of errors when opening Terminal or iTerm2
Warning: could not open directory 'Libary/Application Support/XXXXXXX :Operation not Permitted
same for many folders.
'Libary/IdentityServices'
'Libary/Messages'
'Libary/HomeKit
'Libary/Mail'
'Libary/Safari'
etc
i ran the full installation as it was a fresh install on my Mac Mini for testing purposes.
any ideas?
Ive been using this for a while, way too long maybe and just got a new mac.
I can understand why its unmaintained as the author doesnt need it anymore...
There's a few issues:
There's also been other issues posted here before wrt it not working on upgraded macos versions.
Would love some help finding a fork that works on new macs?
Otherwise ill take a crack at fixing them myself.
Or someone else wanna do it and make $$?
If someone beats me to it or wants to help, id like to offer $500 in usdc on ethereum as an incentive. Not really planning to set up gitcoin for this tho lol
When I open the terminal, it will always show the following error message:

The post on StackOverflow doesn't help. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thanks!
Hey,
in my fork of dev-setup i added the feature to manage brew via Homebrew Bundle. As it depends on #81 i did not open a PR to avoid showing commits that are not related to the topic.
As soon as a decision is taken in regards of #81 i would like to contribute this change back to your repo if you are interested?
Checkout omares/set-me-up#2 for a clean overview of changes.
Use Homebrew Bundle for brew installations.
Using brewfiles makes it easier for users to customize dev-setup to their needs and it declutters all shell scripts. On top i moved the duplicated brew code into an own script.
Heya,
After running ./dots all I noticed node wasn't installed, though according to the documentation it should be. Am I missing anything?
