• Homebrew – will be installed automatically if missing.

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

• Ubuntu 20.04+ or Debian-based distro
• sudo privileges
• apt and snap (usually pre-installed)

Installation

1. Download the script:

   • From GitHub or copy dev-setup.py to your machine.
   • Or use:

     curl -O https://github.com/RushiK8626/dev-setup/dev-setup.py

2. Make it executable (macOS/Linux):

chmod +x dev-setup.py

Usage

Run the tool:

Windows (PowerShell/CMD):

python dev-setup.py

macOS/Linux:

./dev-setup.py
# or
python3 dev-setup.py

Interactive Menu

The script will display an interactive menu with categories and tools. Select tools by number, type all to select everything, or use 0 to install selected tools.

Selection Examples

• Install specific tools: 1 2 3
• Install all tools: all
• Add more tools: 4 5 (then 0 to install)
• Cancel: 99

Configuration File

Your selections are saved to ~/.dev-setup-config.json for easy reuse on other machines or after a reset.

Adding Custom Tools

To add your own tools, edit the self.tools dictionary in dev-setup.py:

'toolname': {
  'name': 'Tool Display Name',
  'description': 'Brief description',
  'category': 'editors',  # or another category
  'windows': {'type': 'winget', 'id': 'Publisher.ToolName'},
  'darwin': {'type': 'brew', 'package': 'toolname'},
  'linux': {'type': 'apt', 'package': 'toolname'}
}

Supported package manager types:

• Windows: winget
• macOS: brew (with optional 'cask': True)
• Linux: apt, snap, or script (for custom commands)

Example Workflow

1. Fresh OS install
2. Download and run dev-setup.py
3. Select tools (e.g., 1 2 3 4 5 for Git, VS Code, Node, Python, Docker)
4. Type 0 to confirm
5. Type y to proceed
6. Wait for installation to complete
7. Restart terminal/system if needed

Troubleshooting

Windows

• winget not found: Install "App Installer" from Microsoft Store
• Installation failed: Run PowerShell/CMD as Administrator

macOS

• Homebrew issues: Ensure Xcode Command Line Tools are installed:

  xcode-select --install

• Permission denied: Some packages may need admin password

Linux

• Permission denied: Use sudo when running the script
• Package not found: Update package lists first:

  sudo apt update

• Snap not installed: Install snap:

  sudo apt install snapd

Advanced Usage

Automated Installation (Non-Interactive)

You can modify the script to run non-interactively by pre-setting selected tools:

# Add at the beginning of run() method:
selected_tools = ['git', 'vscode', 'node', 'python']

CI/CD Integration

Use the saved config file for automated setups:

# Copy config to new machine
cp ~/.dev-setup-config.json /path/to/new/machine/

# Run with saved config (auto-accept)
python3 dev-setup.py
