4. Install device drivers
   • Ethernet drivers

Install specific versions of Java

• https://dzone.com/articles/running-multiple-jdks-osx

If we want multiple (old) versions of the same major version of Java, then we have to download them manually:

• Download and install the macOS JDKs from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html (and the Java archive)

Could consider using sdkman in future.

Enable JCE for JDK >= 8u1

Install applications using Brew

After installing at least one JDK, because that is a pre-requisite

1. Install packages using brew.sh:

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   brew update
   brew bundle

This uses to control the programs to install. Update this file using (SO):

./brew-bundle-dump.sh

# Which runs
# brew bundle dump --describe --force

Shell setup

cp .bash_profile ~

Application setup notes

Alfred

• Powerpack -> Activate Your Powerpack and enter license code
• Clipboard -> change shortcut key to Option-Command-V and expire values:
• Alfred Preferences → Appearance → Options (lower left corner) → Show Alfred on → Mouse screen. (ref)

Chrome

• Chrome -> Warn before quitting - check

LastPass plugin

Log out automatically:

Dropbox

Settings->Sync->Selective Sync: don't sync Comics, Lightroom Backup, Music, Nina

Firefox

For old versions, turn off automatic updates in Firefox -> Preferences:

Git

Global config

git config --global user.email '<email address>'
git config --global user.name '<name>'

# https://stackoverflow.com/a/13974638/125246
git config --global pull.rebase true

git config --global --list

Install git-lfs (after brew has installed it):

git lfs install

IntelliJ

• Sync settings from JetBrains account

• Git config - use native ssh executable:

  

• Project structure -> SDKs - add all JDKs (in directories similar to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home)

  

Sublime Text

Run, and Help->Enter License.

Moom

• Enable Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility

Moom settings:

jenv

• https://github.com/gcuisinier/jenv

1. Open a new terminal (to ensure that the init script is run, defined in <.bash_profile>).

2. Add each JDK (hiding JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and JAVA_OPTIONS which would break jenv's parsing - bug report and SO unset tip).

   Note only overwrite versions if they are newer (e.g. so that 1.8 points to 1.8.0_162 instead of 1.8.0_92).

   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
          /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
       /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_261.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_152.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
          /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_72.jdk/Contents/Home/
   env -u JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -u _JAVA_OPTIONS jenv add \
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/

3. Enable plugins

   jenv enable-plugin export   # To export JAVA_HOME
   jenv enable-plugin ant      # So that ant, etc. use the configured JDK
   jenv enable-plugin maven
   jenv enable-plugin gradle
   jenv enable-plugin sbt
   jenv enable-plugin springboot

Python

Don't install Python directly with brew, but instead use pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv, and pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

• (SO) - http://blog.pinaxproject.com/2015/12/08/how-test-against-multiple-python-versions-parallel/

Then add to .bash_profile:

# For pyenv
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
if which pyenv-virtualenv-init > /dev/null; then eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"; fi

Then install the required Python versions:

pyenv install 2.7.10
pyenv install 3.2.6
pyenv install 3.3.6
pyenv install 3.4.3
pyenv install 3.5.0

Terminal

Terminal -> Preferences

• General
  • On startup, open: New window with profile: Ocean
  • New windows open with: Same profile

tinyproxy

Copy config file to /usr/local/etc/tinyproxy.conf
