Setup new Mac with OSX Lion from scratch

These commands are good as of 2011-07-27.

Install xcode 4

App store http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12) The download/install takes awhile so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

iTerm2 http://www.iterm2.com/

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

Solarized color scheme http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

I feel there is an advantage in setting all your dev apps to use a consistent color scheme, especially your terminal and text editor/dev environment.

Homebrew http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"

Note that Xcode is a pre-req for Homebrew

Set shell to ZSH and install oh-my-zsh

brew install wget
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

restart iTerm2

SCM

Git

brew install git

http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/

Copy over your SSH Keys from your existing machine if you have them and want to carry over your existing SSH configs.

RVM: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

.zshrc

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.

Start new shell session

Install ruby

rvm install 1.9.2
rvm install 1.8.7
rvm notes

See if there is anything in the rvm notes you need to take action on. As of this writing the compiler needs to be overridden. Create a .gemrc file and add the line gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc

rvm --default 1.8.7
rvmsudo gem install bundler
rvmsudo gem install rails

Pow

curl get.pow.cx | sh
