Setup new Mac with OSX Lion from scratch

These commands are good as of 2013-06-03.

Install xcode

The download/install takes awhile so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

iTerm2 http://www.iterm2.com/

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

Solarized color scheme http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

I feel there is an advantage in setting all your dev apps to use a consistent color scheme, especially your terminal and text editor/dev environment. ( This comes built into sachet, I chose to install sachet)

sachet - pre-configured vim development environment.

http://yoursachet.com/

It bundles the following plugins https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround https://github.com/ervandew/supertab https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim

Homebrew http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

Note that Xcode is a pre-req for Homebrew

Set shell to ZSH and install oh-my-zsh

brew install wget
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/sjl/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

I chose the "prose" theme in.zshrc restart iTerm2

SCM

Git ( if not already installed )
