This is a collection of Ansible roles and tasks to setup a new developer machine on macOS.

Read my Machine Setup Guide for instructions.

• Mac running macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later
• Xcode 10.1 or later installed
• Git installed

This setup has only been tested on the macOS Sierra and not against existing installations.

See markosamuli/linux-machine for my Ubuntu Linux setup.

You can run the installer script that will clone the code from GitHub and run the setup script.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markosamuli/macos-machine/master/install.sh | bash -

Clone this project locally and run the ./setup script.

git clone https://github.com/markosamuli/macos-machine
cd macos-machine
./setup

You can pass custom variables to the Ansible playbook and roles by creating a machine.yaml file to customise your configuration.

cp machine.yaml.example machine.yaml

The setup script will detect if this file exists and passes it to the Ansible Playbook with --extra-vars.

The following tools are prerequisites and always installed during setup if not already found on the system.

• Xcode Command Line Tools
• Homebrew
• Ansible v2.7 installed with Homebrew
• Python v3.7 installed with Homebrew

iTerm2 terminal will be installed on all environments.

To install Google Drive File Stream:

install_gdfs: true

To install Slack desktop application:

install_slack: true

Latest version of Zsh will be installed from Homebrew.

• GNU Wget
• GNU sed as gsed command
• GNU tar as gtar command
• jq command-line JSON processor
• The Silver Searcher (ag command) code searching utility similar to ack
• htop process viewer for console
• ShellCheck static analysis tool for shell scripts
• shfmt formatter for shell scripts
• asciinema for recording terminal session

Run tools playbook:

make tools

To install Hazel automation tool:

install_hazel: true

To install Hammerspoon automation tool:

install_hammerspoon: true

Visual Studio Code will be installed on all environments.

Latest Vim package will be installed from Homebrew.

To install MacVim instead of Vim, update machine.yaml with the following configuration:

install_macvim: true

To install JetBrains Toolbox to install and manage JetBrains applications:

install_jetbrains_toolbox: true

You can install asdf version manager by adding the following option to your machine.yaml:

install_asdf: true

To configure asdf plugins and package versions to install, add them into your machine.yaml configuration.

asdf_plugins:
  - name: kubectl
  - name: concourse

Note that some of the playbooks remove conflicting asdf plugins and versions if a respective tool is installed using another package or version manager.

Use pyenv to install and manage Python versions for the current user:

• pyenv
• pyenv-virtualenv
• Python v2.7 and v3.7 installed with pyenv

Run Python playbook:

make python

You can disable installation by adding the following option to your machine.yaml:

install_python: false

The markosamuli.pyenv role will modify your .bashrc and .zshrc files during the setup. If you want to disable this, edit machine.yaml file and disable the following configuration option.

pyenv_init_shell: false

To install Ruby for development, enable it in your machine.yaml configuration:

install_ruby: true

This will install:

• rbenv using zzet.rbenv role
• Ruby version 2.6.3 with rbenv

Run Ruby playbook:

make ruby

To change the installed rubies and default version, add the following to your machine.yaml file and customize it to your needs:

rbenv:
  env: user
  version: v1.1.2
  default_ruby: 2.6.3
  rubies:
    - version: 2.6.3

The role doesn't update your .bashrc or .zshrc files, so you need to add something like below to initialize rbenv in your shell:

if [ -z "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
  if [ -d "$HOME/.rbenv" ]; then
    export PATH=$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH;
    export RBENV_ROOT=$HOME/.rbenv;
    eval "$(rbenv init -)";
  fi
fi

Google Cloud SDK installed from the archive file under user home directory. You shouldn't try to install a global version with these playbooks.

make gcloud

Default install path is in ~/google-cloud-sdk, but you can install it to another location, for example if you prefer ~/opt/google-cloud-sdk add the following option:

gcloud_install_path: ~/opt

The markosamuli.gcloud role will modify your .bashrc and .zshrc files. To disable this and manage the configuration yourself, disable the following configuration option in the machine.yaml file:

gcloud_setup_shell: false

You can disable installation by adding the following option to your machine.yaml:

install_gcloud: false

The installer creates empty ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc files and makes sure ~/.bashrc is loaded from ~/.bash_profile.

The installer makes changes to your ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc files, so take backup copies of them before running the script.

The following external Ansible roles are installed and used. See requirements.yml file for the installed versions.

To install roles and forcibly update any existing ones:

make roles

To update roles to the latest release versions:

make update

Role	Build status
markosamuli.asdf
markosamuli.aws_tools
markosamuli.gcloud
markosamuli.golang
markosamuli.nvm

Fix ansible-lint installation issues:

pip install virtualenv==16.3.0

Install pre-commit hooks:

make install-git-hooks

Lint code and configuration:

This is based on my previous setup markosamuli/machine that was forked off from caarlos0/machine to suit my needs.
