Zsh is a UNIX shell.
Install it and set it as default shell:
brew install zsh
sudo sh -c "echo $(which zsh) >> /etc/shells" && chsh -s $(which zsh)
Install alias-tips, zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting:
cd ${ZSH_CUSTOM1:-$ZSH/custom}/plugins
# An oh-my-zsh plugin to help remembering those aliases you defined once (https://github.com/djui/alias-tips)
git clone https://github.com/djui/alias-tips.git
# Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions)
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions zsh-autosuggestions
# Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting)
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git zsh-syntax-highlighting
Execute the following command to use my already configured .zshrc:
ln -sf dot-files/zshrc_osx ~/.zshrc
[guide] Open the sudo auth file /etc/pam.d/sudo and add the following line:
auth sufficient pam_tid.so
To install command line tools on MacOS use the following command:
xcode-select --install
Homebrew is a package manager for MacOS, follow the instructions on this page to install it.
With the help of the Brewfile, we can dump the list of brew installed taps, brews and casks.
To generate a new Brewfile, run:
brew bundle dump
To restore a configuration, jump in the folder where you have the Brewfile and run:
brew bundle
Use cask to install Warp as default terminal:
brew install --cask warp
Then install command-line packages:
# Distributed revision control system (https://git-scm.com/)
brew install git
# A set of efficient branching git extensions (https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/git-flow/)
brew install git-flow
# Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP server (https://curl.haxx.se/)
brew install curl
# Framework for managing your Zsh configuration (https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh)
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
# Zsh theme (https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k)
git clone https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/powerlevel10k
# Internet file retriever (https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)
brew install wget
# Command-line fuzzy finder written in Go (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)
brew install fzf
# Search tool like grep and The Silver Searcher (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)
brew install ripgrep
# Clone of cat with syntax highlighting and Git integration (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat)
brew install bat
# Display and control your Android device (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy)
brew install scrcpy
# Add GitHub support to git on the command-line (https://github.com/github/hub)
brew install hub
# Command-line interface for https://speedtest.net bandwidth tests (https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli)
brew install speedtest-cli
# Play, record, convert, and stream audio and video (https://ffmpeg.org/)
brew install ffmpeg
# Tools and libraries to manipulate images in many formats (https://imagemagick.org/index.php)
brew install imagemagick
# Modern replacement for 'ls' (https://github.com/ogham/exa)
brew install exa
# Syntax-highlighting pager for git and diff output (https://github.com/dandavison/delta)
brew install git-delta
# Shell extension to navigate your filesystem faster (https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide)
brew install zoxide
To use bat instead of cat, add the following line to .zshrc:
alias cat="bat"
To use speed as an alias to execute the speedtest-cli, add the following line to .zshrc:
alias speed="speedtest-cli"
To enable zoxide add the following line to .zshrc:
eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"
To replace the standard ls command with exa, add the following lines to .zshrc:
if [ "$(command -v exa)" ]; then
unalias -m 'll'
unalias -m 'l'
unalias -m 'la'
unalias -m 'ls'
alias ll='exa -l --color always --icons -a -s type'
alias l='exa -l --color always --icons -a -s type'
alias la='exa -l --color always --icons -a -s type'
alias ls='exa -G --color auto --icons -a -s type'

The following packages are language specific, but I'd suggest to install them anyway because of their generic purposes:
brew install python
brew install sqlite
brew install node
brew install go
To install Raycast use:
brew install --cask raycast
Once it's installed you can just open the Raycast.rayconfig file to import all my settings and extensions.
Spicetify is a commandline tool to customize Spotify client.
To install spicetify follow these instructions.
To theme all the apps as I do, check out Dracula.
Create a folder in the root of your filesystem and name it Dracula, it will contain all the themes repositories for your apps, so that you can easily keep them up-to-date.
mkdir ~/Dracula
cd ~/Dracula
git clone https://github.com/dracula/telegram.git
git clone https://github.com/dracula/visual-studio-code.git ~/.vscode/extensions/theme-dracula
cd ~/.vscode/extensions/theme-dracula
npm install
npm run build
Check out the following sections to see how to install app specific theme.
- In Telegram Desktop, go to setting and under the Chat background section click on Choose from file.
- Select the
colors.tdesktop-themefile you just downloaded. - Click Keep Changes to apply the theme.
Run Visual Studio Code. The Dracula Syntax Theme will be available from File -> Preferences -> Color Theme dropdown menu.
