New OS X Computer Setup

Below are the programs I install, the Preferences I change, and the configurations I tweak after doing a fresh install of macOS.

Homebrew / Cask

http://brew.sh/

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

Vivaldi "Standalone Mode" on Mac

The following commands will produce a small application that allows you to run Vivaldi—or any other Chromium-based browser—in Standalone mode on a Mac. This could be used for testing a specific setup or version, without touching the system wide settings (profile). It can also be used to create a portable (USB install) of Vivaldi that you could store on an external disk, for sharing between computers.

Manual method

Start Terminal and issue the following:

mkdir -p Standalone\ Mode.app/Contents/MacOS
