Laptop Setup

This repo contains some of the dotfiles and other configuration that I use to customize my laptop setup.

Prerequisites

In order to complete installation a few prerequisites should be installed:

• Homebrew
• Oh My Zsh
• Vim Plug

Everything else should be handled either by Homebrew or is listed for manual install in ./apps.md.

Apps

This file lists all of the apps I rely on and specifies where to install them from.

Brewfile

This bundle file contains all of the Homebrew packages I use. With Homebrew installed, run the following command to install the bundle:

brew bundle

Dotfiles

These are all of the dotfiles (i.e., configuration files) that I use. Copy them with a leading . to ~/ to install. Or run the script to do it all at once:

./dotfiles.sh

Language Versions

I use asdf to manage versions of the programming langues I work in. After installing asdf (included in the Homebrew bundle), install the plugins and latest verions:

asdf plugin-add erlang https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang.git

asdf plugin-add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git

asdf install erlang 21.0.7  # or latest
asdf install elixir 1.7.3   # or latest
asdf install nodejs 10.9.0  # or latest
asdf install ruby 2.5.1     # or latest

asdf global erlang 21.0.7   # or latest
asdf global elixir 1.7.3    # or latest
asdf global nodejs 10.9.0   # or latest

This is how I configure VSCode, my default text editor.
