Development Setup

Install XCode

$ xcode-select --install
$ xcodebuild -license

Environment Profile

Your environment profile is located in ~/.bash_profile.

$ vi ~/.bash_profile

Add the following:

# Terminal Colors
export CLICOLOR=1

# Add local paths
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"
# Bump the maximum number of file descriptors
ulimit -n 10240
# Improve NPM compile and install times
export JOBS=max

# Allow composer to run without any PHP memory limits
alias composer='php -d "memory_limit=-1" /usr/local/bin/composer'

# Install homebrew casks into applications
export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications"

Reload your profile

$ source ~/.bash_profile

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is OS X’s “missing” package manager.

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask 2> /dev/null

Install Git

$ brew install git

Define your Git user (should be the same name and email you use for GitHub):

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email@youremail.com"
$ git config --global color.ui auto

To push code to your GitHub repositories, its recommended to use HTTPS method (versus SSH). So you don’t have to type your username and password everytime, enable Git password caching:

$ git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

Upgrade PHP version

A fresh version of macOS Sierra, you get a PHP 5.6 installed. We want PHP 7.0 as default

$ brew unlink php56
$ brew tap homebrew/php
$ brew install --build-from-source php70

Install Composer

$ brew install composer

Install Node.js

Install Node.js with Homebrew:

$ brew update
$ brew install node

The formula also installs the npm package manager. However, as suggested by the Homebrew output, we need to add /usr/local/share/npm/bin to our path so that npm-installed modules with executables will have them picked up.

To do so, add this line to your ~/.bash_profile file, before the export PATH line:

PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH

Node modules are installed locally in the node_modules folder of each project by default, but worth installing Grunt globally

$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g grunt-cli

Install MAMP PRO

MAMP (apache, mysql, php) is commercial, professional grade version of the classic local server environment, allowing multiple versions of PHP and configuration of virtual hosts.

$ brew cask install mamp

Add the following to the end of your ~/.bash_profile to ensure command line is using correct PHP binary.

# Latest version of MAMP PRO PHP binaries are always used
PHP_VERSION=`ls /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/ | sort -n | tail -1`;
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/${PHP_VERSION}/bin:$PATH;

Install Tools

A Brewfile exists in the training repository which can be used to all tools

$ git clone https://github.com/warrantgroup/training.git
$ cd training
$ brew bundle

Alternatively this can be done manually:

brew tap caskroom/cask
brew tap caskroom/homebrew-versions

brew install vim
brew install curl
brew install wget
brew install phpunit

brew cask install phpstorm
brew cask install navicat-for-mysql
brew cask install google-chrome

brew cask install docker
brew cask install virtualbox
brew cask install vagrant
brew cask install mamp

brew cask install alfred
brew cask install awscli
brew cask install cyberduck
brew cask install atom-beta
brew cask install wkhtmltopdf
