Setup¶ ↑

Open a terminal window and execute one of the following setup sequences depending on your version preference:

Current Version (stable):

git clone git://github.com/bkuhlmann/osx.git
cd osx
git checkout v1.1.0

Master Version (unstable):

git clone git://github.com/bkuhlmann/osx.git
cd osx

Usage¶ ↑

Edit any of the *.sh files in the scripts folder to your liking and then open a terminal window and execute the following command:

./install.sh

You will then be presented with the following options:

b: Apply basic machine settings.
h: Install Homebrew software.
a: Install application software.
d: Apply software defaults.
w: Clean work directory.
i: Perform complete install (i.e. apply basic settings, Homebrew, applications, defaults, and clean work directory).
c: Check status of installed applications.
q: Quit/Exit.

By default, you’ll want to choose option ‘i’ to run the complete install but you can choose to step through each task one-by-one or re-run a previous task.

Reboot the machine after the install process has completed. Feel free to delete the osx project directory afterwards.
