Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite Development Install

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS USING THE YOSEMITE BETA - DO NOT RELY ON IT!

Fresh Install

Install OSX on a fresh drive. I recommend using Disk Utility to repartition the entire drive as 1 partition, as this clears any hidden volumes.

Once the initial install is complete, the OSX Setup Assistant will create your first adminstrator account.

I recommend against migrating existing data or connecting to your Apple ID or iCloud — if you need to later you can use Migration assistant

When asked:

How do you want to transfer your information? Don't transfer any information now.

Whe OSX Setup Assistant requests you create user:

Full Name: "[MachineName] Administrator" Account Name: "Admin"

Update System with all recommended updates

When Finder opens, open the App Store

<cmd>+<space> App Store<return>

Navigate to last tab "Updates", wait through spinner to make sure that "No Update Available"

Or,

Open Terminal (cmd-space" "Terminal")

Check for system updates

sudo softwareupdate -l

Get all system updates

sudo softwareupdate -ia

Make default folder structure

~/bin - a local folder for non-system shell scripts, lower case as it not for finder

$ if [ ! -d ~/bin ]; then mkdir -p ~/bin; fi

Don't forget to add to .bashrc

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH

show default tools path

xcode-select -p

# If you see

# xcode-select: error: unable to get active developer directory, use `xcode-select --switch` to set one (or see `man xcode-select`)

# then you'll need to install developer tools

install developer tools

xcode-select --install

show developer tools path, should be result in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

xcode-select -p

$ xcode-select --install

xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools

$

This will install 92 tools into /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/bin/

Otherwise, open App Store and install Xcode. Open Xode and install.

Goto Xcode Preferences/Downloads and install simulator and docs

Tip, to speed up opening Xcode installer, turn off gatekeeper

as per http://furbo.org/2014/09/03/xcode-vs-gatekeeper/
