Homebrew El Capitan

After installing homebrew's openssh on El Capitan, ssh-agent no longer seemed to work (in the sense that after using ssh-add to cache a passphrase, I still got a system prompt when trying to ssh). This seemed to be fixed by the instructions I found at the url below (my version is functionally the same but uses PlistBuddy to edit the plist). Homebrew was written 2009 by Max Howell and has gained popularity in the Ruby on Rails community and earned praise for its extensibility. Install GNU Octave using Homebrew: Install Xcode via the Mac App Store. Install the Command Line Tools by opening a terminal and type sudo xcode-select -install; Follow Homebrew's installation instructions.

If you don't already have homebrew installed, do that first, so you don't have to deal with SIP issues. Post Upgrade to El Capitan, with Homebrew & Ruby.md.

On macOS systems GNU Octave can be installed by:

In case of trouble, please visit the Spack repo issues list, and browse through Octave related issues by writing is:issue octave in the filters box.

Create a launcher app with the Script Editor[edit]

For example Homebrew installs Octave to /usr/local/bin/octave by default. From the Terminal application you can enter the command which octave to find out the exact location.

If you know the installation location, open the Script Editor application and write the following text in the editor window:

if you wish to start the Octave GUI by default. If you want to start the Octave command-line interface (CLI), enter instead:

or if Octave is in your default path:

Finally:

With a script open in the Script Editor app on your Mac, choose 'File > Export'.
In the menu that appears, select 'Application' from the 'File format' menu, then navigate to the 'Applications' folder and save your script there as 'Octave.app'

To change the application icon:

Open this link in a web browser, right-click and select 'copy image'.
Select 'Octave.app' in the Finder, then press command-i to bring up the file info dialog.
In the file info dialog, select the icon (in the top left) and press command-v to paste the Octave icon over it.

I had enough issues after updating to El Capitan (the inability to save mywifi password in the system keychain was the tipping point) that Idecided to perform a clean install. Here are some notes.

First applications

Developer tools

Pretty much the first thing any mac needs is the command line tools. This can be done from the command line:

X11

Download and install Xquartz:

Note for next time: might be worth trying to use homebrew.

X11 key bindings so that the option key is used for Meta..

iTerm2

Update a few settings.

Preferences –> Profiles –> Keys and do these things:

select 'Left/right option key acts as': +Esc
+ –> Keyboard shortcut 'OPT+<left arrow>': Send Escape sequence 'b'
+ –> Keyboard shortcut 'OPT+<right arrow>': Send Escape sequence 'f'

Default appearance:

Preferences –> Profiles –> Colors –> Load Presets –> Light Background
Preferences –> Profiles –> Text –> Change Font –> 14 point

system-level configuration

turn off spelling autocorrect

System Preferences –> Language & Text –> Text tab –> unselect 'Correct spelling automatically'

turn off spaces key shortcuts

System Preferences –> Keyboard –> Keyboard Shortcuts –> unselect C+{<-,->}

homebrew

Note that El Capitan introduced System Integrity Protection (SIP), which may need to be temporarily disabled during homebrew installation. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/El_Capitan_and_Homebrew.md

If it becomes necessary to fix permissions:

packages installed using homebrew

homebrew cask

Command line installer for desktop applications. See https://caskroom.github.io

Install some applications

homebrew API token

Apparently lots of requests to GutHub via homebrew can hit a rate limit. There's a higher limit if you create an API token. See https://gist.github.com/christopheranderton/8644743

Here's the url for the token creation dialog:

Make sure that all 'scopes' are unchecked. Once you generate the token, add to your shell profile:

zsh

Install zsh with Homebrew above

Change shell to zsh

zsh init files are in Dropbox/zsh

ssh

update /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist

This should change the original value of ProgramArguments:

Now restart the service

create $ZSH_INITDIR/ssh-ask-keychain (called from start_ssh_agent.zsh)

create $ZSH_INITDIR/start_ssh_agent.zsh

(either as a file sourced from .zshrc, or as a code block in a login script)

git

emacs

Install emacs24 binary from http://emacsformacosx.com/
