Full generic setup, in order

If there is user data on encrypted volumes other than the boot volume, they will not mount until a user has logged in. To remedy this, see Unlock (forked to my GitHub for archival).

Install development tools

Make sure you've installed packages since after you start using pyenv it gets annoying to remember to switch back to system python for each brew operation. Use the bi alias for a clean room install if possible.

• Increase file limits a la karma-runner/karma#1979 (comment)
  • See https://gist.github.com/abernix/a7619b07b687bb97ab573b0dc30928a0 if there are still file limit issues
  • REBOOT for ulimit -n changes to take effect
• Install chruby, ruby-install
  1. ruby-install ruby to install latest
  2. chruby to that version
  3. Install gems using ruby/install-default-gems
• Install nvm MANUALLY via git clone into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, then use it to install a version of node (and npm)
  1. Use nvm managed node
  2. Install the default packages using node/install
• Install pyenv using pyenv-installer (rm ~/.local/pyenv directory for clean install) and make sure to use the libs provided by brew openssl
  1. brew install openssl
  2. Follow https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv/wiki/Common-build-problems#error-the-python-ssl-extension-was-not-compiled-missing-the-openssl-lib
  3. Set up the global pyenv as the latest stable (3.x.x)
  4. Set up python virtualenvs called neovim{2,3} -- the Neovim configuration expects to find those. E.g.,
     1. pyenv install 2.7.12
     2. pyenv virtualenv 2.7.12 neovim2
     3. pyenv activate neovim2
     4. pip install neovim
• run bootstrap/terminfo (added terminfo for iTerm with italics support)
• Install gpgtools from brew cask (it provides gpg-agent and can store passphrases in the OS keychain with minimal work)
  • Import keybase public/private keys into gpg using the pref pane.
  • Setup local/gitconfig to sign commits

Reduce desktop icon size

Click desktop to focus Finder, cmd-j use smallest sizes for everything.
