I’m relative new on MacOS and one of the biggest problem switching from Windows was setup all those SDK and libraries required for web/mobile development.

I made several mistakes, but I think that finally found a good way to setup a MacOS as development machine.

It's not a definitely solution, just use what you need. Don't install sdk or software that you not gonna use.

Before start highly recommend change your terminal follow this configuration:

iTerm2 + Oh My Zsh! + Powerlevel9K best terminal combination for Geeks!

Package Manager

Homebrew

Brew have his own classification. Inside brew can found CLI app and utilities. Inside cask are all the application with Graphical Interface.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup

Run this command, and follow doctor recommendations:

brew doctor

SDK Man

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"

Permissions

Add permissions to user (or group) under this folders and enclosed items:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/opt
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share

WARNING: Add next permission just in case you machine is used by only one user.

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib

Libraries

I like install Gradle and Java with SDK Man because have projects that and need switch between different version, change it with SDK Man is easy.

Gradle

I'm working with 3.3 and 4.4.1 versions, if you want use last version avoid version number at end.

sdk install gradle 3.3
sdk install gradle 4.4.1
sdk use gradle 4.4.1
sdk default gradle 4.4.1

Java

sdk list java

Search oracle version, like 8.0.222.hs-adpt on this list and use it at the end of next commands.

sdk install java 8.0.222.hs-adpt
sdk use java 8.0.222.hs-adpt
sdk default java 8.0.222.hs-adpt

Node.js

I prefer install node through NVM (Node Version Manager).

brew install nvm
mkdir ~/.nvm
chmod +x /usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh

Add this environment variables to ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.zshrc file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" 
#Load NVM and Bash Completion
[ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"
[ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion" ] && . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion"

Install last LTS version

nvm install --lts
nvm alias default stable
nvm use default

And finally update npm:

npm i -g npm

If don't recognize npm command close and open terminal and run the command again.

Yarn

brew install yarn --ignore-dependencies

Git

brew install git
rm '/usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver'
brew link --overwrite git
brew install git-lfs
git lfs install

In order to use setup git config to use Visual Studio Code instead of Vim run this command:

git config --global core.editor 'code --wait'

And this command to edit global global configuration:

git config --edit --global

Android SDK

brew cask install android-sdk

Useful SDK Manager commands:

Add this environment variables to ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.zshrc file:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/usr/local/share/android-sdk"
export ANDROID_HOME="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT"
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk-bundle"
export ANDROID_BT_VERSION="$(ls -tr $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/build-tools | sort | tail -1)"

export PATH="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/build-tools/$ANDROID_BT_VERSION:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/:$PATH"

Android Bundle Tool

brew install bundletool

.Net Core SDK

brew cask install dotnet-sdk

Add this environment variables to ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.zshrc file:

export DOTNET_HOME="/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet"
export PATH="$DOTNET_HOME/bin:$PATH"

Packages

Do it with your favorite node package manager: yarn or npm

Yarn with VSCode

If you are using Visual Studio Code and ESLint extension, need extra configurations settings:

"eslint.packageManager": "yarn",

Yarn with Angular

Using Yarn with Angular CLI, needs run a command inside an Angular project.
