HomeBrew – Mac OS Setup

I use a Mac for my primary computer and sometimes I need to setup a new VM similar to my computer for testing.

Here is the basic setup that I use HomeBrew for. I’ll add more later as I remember more or use it more.

# Install HomeBrew

if ! type "brew" > /dev/null; then
  #/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)";
  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)";
fi

NOTE: If you receive an error on installing HomeBrew like “Error: Failed to link all completions, docs and manpages: Permission denied” try this

# This command should work
sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local/*

# If the above doesn't work use this (of course change the username 'dkittell' to your username
sudo chown -R dkittell:admin /usr/local/*

Incidentally if you want/need to uninstall HomeBrew or Oh My Zsh

# Remove everything installed with HomeBrew
brew list -1 | xargs brew rm

# Remove HomeBrew (In some cases Sudo is not needed)
#sudo /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
sudo /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/.github/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/completions/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/docs/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/manpages/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/etc/openssl
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/etc/wgetrc
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/microsoft/powershell
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Caskroom/

rm -rf .zsh-update

rm -rf .zshrc.*
rm -rf .zcompdump*
chsh -s /bin/bash

One thing to note is after you uninstall Oh My Zsh you may need to close and reopen Terminal to see the difference.
