The Setup

30 Sep 2012

I needed a script to quickly setup a development environment on my MacBook Pro.

I read about a GitHub tool called “The Setup”, but unfortunately it is not yet open source. Because of that, after some research, I found a Thoughtbout project, laptop, which has the same purpose, so I decided to fork it and create my own Setup.

It automates a lot of boring tasks installing:

  • GitHub SSH-keys
  • Ruby through RVM
  • rails gem
  • heroku gem
  • mysql2 gem
  • pg gem
  • mongodb gem
  • foreman gem
  • capistrano gem
  • Homebrew
  • MySQL
  • Postgres
  • MongoDB
  • ack
  • tmux
  • ImageMagick
  • QT
  • Heroku plugins

In the future I would add the setup of Sublime Text 2 and .dotfiles.

You can find it on my GitHub: The Setup
