Usage

To setup a new machine:

• If you want to use the desktop-switching features of chunkwm with macOS Mojave, you'll need to boot the machine into Recovery Mode and disable SIP. To do so, restart the computer while holding down Cmd + R, navigate to Utilities > Terminal, and run the following command.

  csrutil disable
  

  This is a security liability, particularly on machines with a single administrator/root account, so if this is a work machine, you may not be able to do this. Sending windows to new desktops will still work, but following the windows will not. My workaround is to create a shortcut for switching desktops from the keyboard under System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control > Mission Control > Move left a space.

• Install Homebrew.

• Clone this repo to a ~/etc folder; setup commands assume this path, and assume that your home directory is at /Users/<username>/. You will need to modify paths in the init scripts if you have different needs.

  git clone https://github.com/favorable-mutation/dotfiles.git ~/etc
  

• Make the ~/etc/init/ scripts executable:

  chmod u+x ~/etc/init/*.sh
  

• Make any changes you want to the scripts with your favorite editor. I would recommend carefully looking through each script to see what it does, and adjusting any settings that you will not need. The first script sets a ton of user preferences for macOS. The second installs several programs from Homebrew. The output for the second script is written to ~/brew.log and ~/brew.err. The third links my configuration files into place. Run the scripts in the following order:

  ./setup-macos.sh
  ./setup-brew.sh &
  ./setup-env.sh
