Setting up a new Mac for full stack development

Hi Everyone, I’m Matan, the newest addition to the team. For my first week at Soomla, I’ll be sharing the stages a new member goes through to install the full stack for our product.

I’ll be using OSX so the instructions are written accordingly.

Go through these stages to install the full stack

Step 1: XCode installation

Using The OSX App Store, Install The Latest Version Of XCode, And Run It For The First Time

1.1: Command Line Tools

Next, Paste The Following Code In A New Terminal Window

xcode-select --install 

Step 2: Homebrew setup

Paste The Following Code In a Terminal Window

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)

• Update via the brew update Command
• Verify Successful Installation via The brew doctor Command

Now we’ll be installing various programs using brew, for each program enter the following command brew install X, replacing each time.
You can easily verify installation by running X --version after, where X is the installed name

The programs we’ll install using brew (click for further info):

• git
• openssl
• node
• redis (installed name: redis-cli)
• mongodb (installed name: mongod)
• tree

Step 3: Getting RVM up and running

In A New Terminal Window, Enter \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable. It’s important not to install RVM under sudo.

• Verify with rvm --version

Step 4: Downloading JDK 1.6
