Homebrew and Bash

Open your default terminal window and perform the following:

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

You will have to accept the install of XCode to continue - this will take sometime to complete.

brew install bash
echo '/usr/local/bin/bash' | sudo tee -a /etc/shells;
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

Chrome

brew cask install google-chrome

.Net Core

brew cask install dotnet-sdk
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

Node

brew install node

Docker

brew cask install docker

Start Docker from the launchpad which should immediately prompt you with

  • Docker Desktop needs privileged access

Click ok and enter your password and then click "Install Helper" to complete the installation.

A docker tutorial "Get Started With Docker" will open automatically and you can skip or or not.

VS Code

brew install --cask visual-studio-code

PGAdmin

brew install --cask pgadmin4

Optional Software

MS Cascadia Fonts (optional)

curl  -LOJ  https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases/download/v2007.01/CascadiaCode-2007.01.zip
sudo unzip -j -d /Library/Fonts CascadiaCode-2007.01.zip ttf/\*
rm CascadiaCode-2007.01.zip

Configure VS Code to use the Cascadia Code font and ligatures by

  • Launching code
  • Going to: Code/Preferences/Settings
  • Clicking on: Text Editor/Font
  • Edit Font Family and Prepend: 'Cascadia Code' to the existing list of fonts
  • Enable Ligatures by editing settings.json and setting "editor.fontLagatures": true

You should have a settings.json similar to

{
    "editor.fontFamily": "'Cascadia Code', Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true
}

Save your settings.json file.

iTerm2

brew install --cask iterm2

Configure iTerm to use Cascadia Code font and ligatures by

  • Launching iTerm
  • Going to Profiles/Open Profiles...
  • Click Edit Profiles
  • Select Default (left pane)
  • Select Text Tab (right pane)
  • Change the font to Cascadia Code PL
  • Check Use Ligatures
  • Close settings and restart iTerm

Visual Studio (optional)

brew cask install visual-studio

Perform the following to configure Visual Studio to use the correct NodeJS:

  • From a bash shell execute
which nvm
  • Copy the path that was reported from above and launch Visual Studio
  • Select menu Visual Studio/Preferences...
  • Select External Tools
  • Click Add

Go and Powerline Go (optional)

brew install go
go get -u github.com/justjanne/powerline-go ~ deprecated
go install github.com/justjanne/powerline-go@latest

Add the following to your .bash_profile

GOPATH=$HOME/go
function _update_ps1() {
    PS1="$($GOPATH/bin/powerline-go -error $?)"
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -f "$GOPATH/bin/powerline-go" ]; then
    PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi

Close your iTerm window and restart.

Ensure that you run the application in Chrome as Safari had a known authentication error.
