Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

Install Software

Setting up a Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian 8 (jessie) arm64 VM

This is mainly a notes dump and should be used for reference. This guide assumes:

Ubuntu 14.04 (or Debian 8) hypervisor/host with bridge networking
Knowledge of qemu
Knowledge of debootstrap

Limitations of the qemu-system-aarch64 emulator on x86 include only being able to emulate one CPU and no KVM support.

Here's my setup:

Home server running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-93-generic x86_64)
Plex Media Server debian package running on server
Netgear Nighthawk R6900 home router
Dynamic hostname from no-ip.org, which I'll use for this setup
