After that, as I have got my laptop back from the service centre I had to install all applications from scratch and also I needed setting my working environment again. I wanted to share my steps in the past which I always follow to set up a new environment but I didn’t have enough time to do it. My refurbished laptop finally motivated me to do that.
Making your hidden files visible, run this command in the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder
- Install brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
- Install wget (to download files via console)
brew install wget
- Install iTerm2
brew install iTerm2
- Install Fonts
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew install font-source-code-pro
- Download file project from GitHub and use .sh extension to install ( ./install.sh)
https://github.com/powerline/fonts
Go in iTerm2 => Preferences => Profiles => Text and make check by „Use built-in Powerline glyphs“

Go to the standart terminal: terminal = > Einstellungen => Allgemein = > Shells öffnen mit => and write the string “/bin/sh”

- Install the colour theme in iTerm2
Go to the page: https://iterm2colorschemes.com, chose any colour schema for example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color- Schemes/master/schemes/Seafoam%20Pastel.itermcolors download it and import via terminal settings.
Use the shortcut CMD+i in the running iTerm2
Navigate to Colors tab

Click on Load Presets and choose a color scheme
- Install ZSH, it is a Shell over standard bash with the extra features
brew install zsh
- Install and setup framework “Oh My Zsh” to manage zsh, during installation it would offer to change the standard shell to zsh, if it is not happened, use the command: chsh -s $(which zsh)
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
- Setup the standard theme in Zsh. You should open the file .zshrc in your home directory, find the line ZSH_THEME and write the agnoster like below:
ZSH_THEME=„agnoster“
- In the end of the file write the below line. It will disable user name and pc name in the console line
export DEFAULT_USER="$(whoami)"
- After each changes of the .zshrc file you should restart the console ti apply the changes with the following command:
source ~/.zshrc
- If you have any security message after you started the zsh, just run this command:
compaudit | xargs chmod g-w,o-w
- Install syntax highlighting in your console
brew install zsh-syntax-highlighting
- Setup syntax highlighting. To activate the syntax highlighting, add the following at the end of your .zshrc:
source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
- Setup the program which will show you your directory as a tree:
brew install tree
Use the command in the iTerm2: tree -L 1
this command shows you the current directory with the nested level 1
- Adb Install to debug android applications and to manage android devices remotely
brew install android-platform-tools
That’s all. It is my working setup to code.
Next time I will write post how to quick copy or transfer files in the console from one server to another.
