Laptop is a script to set up an OS X laptop for web development. This is a hacked/simplified version of the original laptop project from Thoughtbot.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

We support:

• OS X Mavericks (10.9)
• OS X Yosemite (10.10)
• OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older versions are welcome.

Download, review, then execute the script:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gravit/mac-laptop/master/mac
less mac
sh mac 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.

Mac OS X tools:

• Homebrew for managing operating system libraries.

Unix tools:

• OpenSSL for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
• Tmux for saving project state and switching between projects

Programming languages and configuration:

• Ruby v1.9.3-p194 for our current code bases
• Bundler v1.11.2 for managing Ruby libraries
• Rbenv for managing versions of Ruby
• Ruby Build for installing Rubies

Databases:

• MySQL v5.5 for storing relational data

It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine).

You can customize/add to what gets installed via the ~/.laptop.local script, which is run at the end of the Laptop script. See Thoughtbot's README for more details.
