## Shell
- Make sure zsh is installed.
- TODO: fill out if there are any zinit related instructions.
## Package manager
- Install Homebrew —to `$HOME/.homebrew` instead of /usr/local:
git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.git $HOME/.homebrew
- Run `which brew` to confirm the one in home directory is picked up.
- Run `brew analytics off`
## Installing software manually
- Download Dropbox
- Sign in
- Sync only 1Password
- Download iPassword 6
- Choose .opvault file from Dropbox
- Go to Software Licenses → open the 1Password license file
- Accept to use 1Password Mini when prompted
## Installing software via Homebrew
All software installed on the system must be listed in `.Brewfile`. This is
symlinked at `~/.Brewfile` and used by `brew bundle`.
To install all the software, add it to `.Brewfile` and run:
brew bundle --global
Some stuff will take long, in that case, identify which packages and update
`.Brewfile` to install them with `args: ['force-bottle']` or do a one-off
`brew install --force-bottle [pkg]` install.
Some things that require manual installation after Homebrew:
```sh
# if pip requires sudo, something is wrong, because the
# Homebrew bundle should install a $USER-writable over system-python.
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper
```
