This repository contains following personal configuration files of mine:

• dotfiles managed by Homesick
• definition of packages to install via Homebrew & Ruby Gems
• custom Oh my ZSH theme Solar Panels
• custom OS X Terminal theme Solar Panels
• two custom keyboard layouts Lupulus CZ and Lupulus EN

The following guide describes how to apply this configuration while setting up an OS X computer from scratch.

$ curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh | sh

Install Homebrew:

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

Tap homebrew-bundle:

$ brew tap Homebrew/bundle

Install packages defined in the Brewfile from this repository:

$ ./packages/brew-bundle.sh

Install rbenv:

$ rbenv install 2.0.0-p195
$ rbenv global 2.0.0-p195

Since rbenv is not yet loaded using .zshrc it is necessary to load it manually in the shell:

$ if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi
$ export PATH="~/.rbenv/shims:$PATH"

Install Bundler:

$ gem install bundler
$ rbenv rehash

And finally install gems defined in the Gemfile in this repository. Make sure Xcode is installed, because some brews may depend on it.

$ bundle install
$ rbenv rehash

Create a symlink from Homesick's configuration directory (~/.homesick/repos/dotfiles) to the local clone of this repository. When updating dotfiles, the changes are actually made to that local repository.

$ ln -s <path-to-this-repository> ~/.homesick/repos/dotfiles

Apply the symlinks. When asked to override an existing directory, type n. This is a bug in Homesick.

$ homesick symlink
$ source ~/.zshrc

Install the font Menlo for Powerline e.g. from this Gist and import Solar Panels.terminal in the Terminal’s preferences.

First copy the keyboard layouts from this repository to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts using following script:

$ ./keyboard/install.sh

Then add both custom keyboard layouts in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. In order to remove all other system keyboard layouts further steps are necessary. Copy the current keyboard layout preferences:

$ cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist /tmp
$ open /tmp/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist

Manually remove the entries for system keyboard layouts under the key AppleEnabledInputSources and copy the new version of the preference files to its original location:

$ cp /tmp/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist ~/Library/Preferences/

Finally restart the computer.
