Necessary to ensure the Homebrew directory remains clean and is *only* managed by Homebrew. All other programs are downloaded straight from the provider and placed in the `/usr/local/bin` instead.
Necessary to improve the install reliability of software and
associated libraries (extensions). There is now a split between core
installation of applications and associated libraries. This is a loose
split since everything in the *Install* category is mostly
applications but also contains related setup while the *Libraries*
category requires a machine reboot so the fully configured environment
is loaded to ensure all libraries install properly.
The specifics of these changes will be handled in the corresponding
macOS Configuration project.
Improves name consistency by using the same `install_` prefix for all
install scripts.
The dotfiles script was renamed as a shell script since this is now a
dedicated shell configuration script so people can configure their
default shell as they like. Use of this new shell script will be
configured in a future commit.
Necessary to reduce duplicated effort found in the macOS Configuration
project plus this allows people to customize their Ruby gem install
further in case they don't want this stipulation.
These are seldom used and native support via Homebrew, for example, is
better than what these scripts can do. This also reduces additional
maintenance burden on this project.
Ensures the latest version of Node is installed as managed by Fast
Node Manager (FNM). Behavior is similar to using Frum to manage Ruby
versions except FNM has the additional feature of computing latest
version instead.
Necessary to make installing personal dotfiles a first class citizen
like many of the other install scripts. Having one's own dotfiles as
part of the machine setup helps ensure the shell is configured properly
especially when it comes to dealing with language specific dependencies
for Ruby, Rust, Node, etc. This reduces duplication within this project
-- and the macOS Configuration project -- from having to know all of
these details when settings can be defined within one's own dotfiles
once.
Necessary to provide a single source of truth for installing Node
dependencies. This used to be managed by the Yarn Setup project but
that project is being deprecated in favor of this project.
Necessary to provide a single source of truth for installing Ruby
dependencies. This used to be managed by the Ruby Setup project but
that project is being deprecated in favor of this project.
Necessary to implement the installation of Rust and associated crates
which can be used by downstream configurations. This functionality was
originally part of the macOS Configuration project but has been moved
here to provide a common foundation in which to build upon.
Necessary to ensure mas is installed before executing the script. This
reduces the strain on downstream projects/scripts from having to do
this check. This was previously part of the macOS Configuration project
but has been moved here as central location for core functionality.
Necessary to define the installation of Homebrew via a single function.
This was originally part of the macOS Configuration project but is now
located here instead.
Necessary for answering CPU of current machine when determining what
kind of functionality should be used when executing scripts on Silicon
or Intel based hardware. In this case, it'll answers "M1" when using an
Apple Silicon chip. For Intel based machines, nothing will be answered
since they use multiple "Processor" fields.
Resolves the following from happening:
Error: Calling `brew list` to only list formulae is disabled! Use
`brew list --formula` instead.
Includes a correction for the plural form for `casks` as well.
Resolves the following warning when using Homebrew 2.5.0:
Warning: Calling brew cask list is deprecated! Use brew list
Removed conditional checks for the Skitch, Witch, and OpenEmu
applications since they are no longer supported.
Was originally removed in this commit (a895090ca9) and has been
restored in order to handle situations where we have only a single file
install.
For example, the MacOS Config project needs this function in order to
properly install the Pathogem (Vim) file.
Modifies and renames the original `install_file` function so it
calculates install path based on application name. This ensures
`install_program` has the same behavior as found with similar install
functions:
- `install_dmg_app`
- `install_dmg_pkg`
- `install_zip_app`
- `install_zip_pkg`
- `install_tar_app`
These tools were originally necessary for some of the Homebrew
applications to install successfully (especially Elasticsearch) but
those requirements are no longer necessary. This also reduces the setup
friction by requiring less manual work on behalf of the installer.
Some apps are binaries packaged within a DMG, zip, etc. that have no
extension but are executable. These are meant to go in the
`/usr/local/bin` folder.
This corresponds with the code found in the `installers.sh` file (see
the `install_app` function).
