Designer Mac Setup

The purpose of this repo is to ease the mac setup process for new designers in a company.

I thought it could help other design teams, so I made it public.

Getting started

All you have to do is to follow these simple steps.

It requires to use your Terminal application (you can use iTerm too).

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a popular package manager built for OS X.

Open your terminal and execute the following command:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install Homebrew Cask

Homebrew Cask is an extension for Homebrew that allows you to automate the installation of Mac applications and fonts.

To install it, execute that command:

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

Install applications

We have a bash script called apps.sh that will install the applications listed below on your mac.

To proceed to the installation, execute that command in your CLI:

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fgosselin/designer-mac-setup/master/scripts/apps.sh | bash
