Basic Development Tools

A list of stuff to install when you're setting up a new laptop

1. Git / GitHub 🔗

  1. Set up Git and authenticate with GitHub
    N.B. You should have installed Xcode which includes the latest version of Git

2. Homebrew 🔗

Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easier to install other stuff

  1. Paste this into a Terminal prompt:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

From the Treehouse blog:

Homebrew is a great tool for web developers. First, it makes removing Node very easy (otherwise you have to crawl through your file system and delete a bunch of files manually). Second, it greatly simplfies the installation of other useful packages like Git, Ruby, or the very useful wget utility.

3. Node / NPM 🔗

  1. Enter brew install node into a Terminal prompt.
  2. To check the install, enter node -v; npm -v. You should see two numbers print out which are the versions for node and npm respectively.
