macOS init

GitHub stars Follow @nhoizey@mamot.fr

This set of scripts automate the installation of applications and synchronization of settings, on a freshly installed macOS.

Caution

This script was designed for my own specific needs. Before using it, remember to modify it to suit your needs!

Usage

Initial installation of a pristine OS

  1. Install macOS
  2. Run Mac App Store and log in to your account

First step

  1. Download the latest version: main.zip
  2. Open the run.sh and Brewfile files, and change what is installed by default
  3. Starting from the line # Configuration in the run.sh file, the script configures a number of default settings, which you can modify as required
  4. Then open macOS terminal, drag and drop the run.sh file from the Finder to the Terminal, press the Enter key, and fasten your seatbelt… 😁

The script will largely work without your intervention, except :

  • to validate the installation of Homebrew
  • to enter the administrator password for Homebrew
  • for the administrator password needed for Cask
  • for certain software that requires admin access

If all goes well, it will finish normally without error, but if there is an error, you can restart the script and only what has not already been installed will be installed;

There's no second step. That's it, you're ready to start using your new computer.

Later updates

  1. Run the update.sh script to update any applications that require it.
