Optional, useful tool for monitoring CPU, bandwidth, memory, etc.:

Editor
Install Atom Editor:
Install some packages using apm
:
apm install Sublime-Style-Column-Selection atom-cli-diff auto-indent busy-signal elixir-pry escape-utils file-icons git-blame git-status html2haml intentions language-csv language-diff language-docker language-dotenv language-elixir language-gitignore language-javascript-jsx language-slim language-vue linter linter-elixir-credo linter-sass-lint linter-ui-default open-in-browser pigments recent-projects ruby-block-converter sort-lines suranyami-light-syntax suranyami-light-ui text-manipulation
Unix libraries
Install homebrew
:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Install unix libs:
brew update
brew install gpg2 git openssl tmux imagemagick postgres redis git-flow pgcli direnv zsh ssh-copy-id openssl nmap coreutils automake autoconf openssl libyaml readline libxslt libtool unixodbc fop wxmac
SSH
Generate an SSH key:
ssh-keygen
Install the handy-dandy ssh-copy-id
utility:
brew install ssh-copy-id
ZSH
Recently, RVM has been complaining about specific versions of ZSH, so now we have HomeBrew installed, install the latest version of ZSH:
brew install zsh
Set this version as the correct version of ZSH:
sudo vim /etc/shells
# add the following line into the very end of the file(/etc/shells)
/usr/local/bin/zsh
Change default shell:
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh
Now install oh-my-zsh:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
development directory
Create my local development directory:
mkdir ~/development
Ruby and RVM
Install RVM:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash
Fix any potential SSL certificate nonsense related to RVM:
brew uninstall openssl
brew uninstall --force openssl
brew install openssl
rvm osx-ssl-certs update all
brew link openssl --force
You can test that it worked by trying the following:
gem install eventmachine -v '1.0.8'
Install a Ruby:
rvm install 2.6
