The initial software and code setup for my personal computers, for use with suited.
During the installation of macOS
- don't sign into iCloud during the finalisation
- create alternate
kingaccount, notnorm
Once logged in, open System Preferences and:
- create the
normaccount - turn off fast user switching
- set the login window to display as "Name and password"
- change the hostname in the Sharing pane
Log out, then back in as norm, signing into iCloud during the finalisation.
Some preferences are hard to set using defaults write, so copy the files wholesale.
Run this command, then immediately log out:
nohup sh -c '
sleep 20;
cp ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/kit/prefs/* ~/Library/Preferences
' &
Only log back in after waiting for more than 20 seconds to have passed.
Copy your ssh key into place and activate it with ssh-add.
Explicitly sign into the Mac App Store application: Store → Sign In…
Run suited:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=____TOKEN_GOES_HERE____
export GITHUB_USER='norm'
export GIT_EMAIL='[email protected]'
export GIT_NAME='Mark Norman Francis'
export HOST=`hostname -s`
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/norm/suited/master/suited.sh
bash suited.sh github:norm/suit:initial_setup.conf
Reboot once suited has run successfully all the way through.
Run suited again, now installed to /usr/local/bin, with the same environment settings:
export ...
# set up the mac with my personal settings
suited github:norm/suit:preferences.conf
# lastly, check out common code libraries I use and refer to
suited github:norm/suit:code_library.conf
