Read, then run the script:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uni380/laptop/master/mac) 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log
Read, then run the script:
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uni380/laptop/master/linux) 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log
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.

Laptop can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It will upgrade already installed packages and install and activate a new version of ruby (if one is available).
Put your customizations in ~/.laptop.local. For example, your
~/.laptop.local might look like this:
#!/bin/sh
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install dropbox
brew cask install google-chrome
brew cask install rdio
You should write your customizations such that they can be run safely more than
once. See the mac and linux scripts for examples.
