Mac Bootstrap for Demand Chain

This script will provision a new machine running a fresh install of macOS Monterey. It configures the shell, installs Rosetta, and installs useful applications.

This is a simplified version of my personal bootstrap script.

What does it do?

• installs Rosetta 2
• installs Homebrew
• installs/sets shell to ZSH
• sets some system defaults
  • computer name/host name
  • enables trackpad tap-to-click
• installs command line tools, with Homebrew
  • git
  • sqlite
  • wget
  • zsh
• installs apps
  • 1Password
  • Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Office
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Slack
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Zoom

Prerequisites

1. Make sure your software is up to date:

   sudo softwareupdate -i -a --restart

2. Install Apple's command line tools:

   xcode-select --install

3. Reboot, check for additional updates, then reinstall and reboot as needed.

Installation

To install with a one-liner, run this in the Terminal:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/demand-chain/mac-bootstrap/main/bootstrap && sh bootstrap 2>&1 | tee ~/bootstrap.log

Post-install Tasks

After running bootstrap and restarting, there are still a few things that need to be done.

Automatic app install
