Today I started configuring my new MacBook Pro. In this blog post I will document the applications I’ve installed and the configuration changes I make.
Step one
- Install Homebrew
The first application I install on a new OS installation is HomeBrew. Homebrew is the most popular package manager for MacOS. It’s a clean and easy way to install the applications you need. Similar to the Windows alternative Chocolately.
Visit brew.sh, copy the install command and run in your macOS Terminal.
Step two
Now that I have Homebrew installed I can easily search and install my required applications.
brew search “application name”
brew install “application name”
- Install LastPass
- Install vscode
- Install Spotify
- Install Microsoft Office
