Install Unix Stuff

Create Projects directory

```

Install Homebrew

Before installing Homebrew make sure you have command-line tools installed along with Xcode. You can download these from the Apple Developer portal.
```
  $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
```
Install Git
```
  $ brew install git
```

Update ZShell

  $ brew install zsh
  $ echo '/usr/local/bin/zsh' | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
  $ chsh -s /bin/zsh # Changes default shell to ZSH

Restart terminal to see changes.

Install Tmux
```
  $ brew install tmux
```
Install ACK
```
  $ brew install ack
```
Install SSH-Copy-ID
```
  $ brew install ssh-copy-id
```
Install GPG2
```
  $ brew install gpg2
```

Install PIP

  $ curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
  $ sudo python get-pip.py

Install VirtualEnvWrapper
```
  $ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
  $ mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME # Works if dotfiles are installed before this point
```
Note:
- VirtualEnvWrapper will also install VirtualEnv as a dependency.
- Take note of the location listed towards the end of the installation process: Installing virtualenv-clone script to /usr/local/bin

Install RBEnv

  $ brew install rbenv rbenv-gem-rehash ruby-build

Install a new Ruby version
```
  $ rbenv install 2.0.0-p247
  $ rbenv global 2.0.0-p247 # Sets global version of Ruby to this version
```
We are installing a version of Ruby in addition to the system Ruby. It is recommended not to mess with the Apple provided version of Ruby and the permissions set.

Install NVM

  $ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash

Add to your ~/.zshrc

  $ export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"
  $ [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Install Teamocil
```
  $ gem install teamocil
```
Setup GitHub SSH key

Install my dotfiles

  $ cd ~
  $ git clone http://github.com/landonlewis/dotfiles.git .dotfiles

Setup links to dotfiles

  $ ln -s .dotfiles/.zshrc .zshrc
  $ ln -s .dotfiles/.vimrc .vimrc
  $ ln -s .dotfiles/.tmux.conf .tmux.conf
  $ ln -s .dotfiles/.gitignore .gitignore

Install MacVim
```
  $ brew install macvim --override-system-vim
```
- Using MacVim instead of the system provided vim to get a build that is properly linked against Ruby and Python as well as better support for colors.
- Installing MacVim via the above will setup the symlinks to override the local install of Vim provided that /usr/local/bin appears before /usr/bin in your $PATH. If MacVim doesn't open when you execute the vim command on command line then move /usr/local/bin ahead of /usr/bin in /etc/paths.

Install Pathogen

  mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
  curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

Install EditorConfig

  $ cd ~/.vim/bundle
  $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim.git

Install ctrlp.vim

Set initial Git config options

  $ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
  $ git config --global user.email [email protected]
  $ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

Terminal Setup

Install Solarized
- Install via Pathogen:
```
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized.git
mv vim-colors-solarized ~/.vim/bundle/
```
- In iTerm2, open iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors, and click "Load Presets…" to load the Solarized color schemes (light and dark) that are found in the .zip in solarized/iterm2-colors-solarized/
- Set 'Report Terminal Type':
  - In iTerm2, in Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal, under 'Terminal Emulation' you have 'Report Terminal Type:' set to xterm-256color
- Ensure that in the .vimrc file you have:
```
set background=dark
let g:solarized_termcolors=16
let g:solarized_termtrans = 1
colorscheme solarized
```

Change Terminal font to Andale Mono 11pt anti-aliased

Done.

Notes

I left out PHP and MySQL on purpose. I'm of the opinion that if you need either it's probably easier in the long run to run both inside a VM (like Vagrant + VirtualBox).

Areas that need improved

All the brew commands should be able to be ran at once.
A master .gitconfig file should be added to the dotfile's repo.
A master .editorconfig file should be added to the dotfile's repo.
Vim colors and the theme are jacked-up. Need to spend some time fixing this.
Setup instructions for Pathogen's environment need to be included.
Need to automate the install of Vim plugins
Although, it'd be better to automate this whole process...
