# Mac Setup
> Eventually publishing mac-setup and dotfiles
## New Mac
Starting with a brand new macOS:
1. Make sure to be connected to a wifi network (or LAN)
2. Configure TouchID when setting up
3. Login to iCloud (but may skip photos) and activate Documents Sync
4. Open _Terminal.app_
### Bootstrap a new machine
This will do the very first steps for a new machine. The sudo password will be required.
The command line tools, homebrew and fish shell will be installed.
```console
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weiland/mac-setup/main/install | sh
```
## Homebrew
Install all software, casks, fonts and mac app store apps.
```console
# checkout Brewfile
vim Brewfile
# brewing
brew bundle
```
## Install nix
for macOS as multi-user
```sh
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume --daemon
```
or with fish:
```fish
sh ( curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | psub ) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume --daemon
```
### Install nix-darwin
```sh
nix-build https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/archive/master.tar.gz -A installer
mv /etc/nix/nix.conf /etc/nix/nix.conf.before-nix-darwin
./result/bin/darwin-installer
```
### Install home-manager within nix-darwin
```sh
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update
```
Add home-manager to _~/.nixpkgs/darwin-configuration.nix_
```nix
imports = [ ];
```
## Install dotfiles
```console
sh dotfiles.sh
```
## MacOS defauls
Compare with it's original and review the settings in there.
[History of `.macos`](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/commits/main/.macos) (last checked/updated 22. June 2021)
```console
sh macos.sh
```
## Manual settings
Since `macos.sh` cannot catch everything...
```console
# Adjust Notification Center
#defaults read com.apple.notificationcenterui
# Set the right resolution (Default 1440x877 on MBP 13")
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences "NSWindow Frame Main Window Frame SystemPreferencesApp 8.0" -string "105 339 668 462 0 0 1440 877 "
# and for the display
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences "NSWindow Frame Main Window Frame SystemPreferencesApp 8.0" -string "256 121 668 658 0 0 2560 1415"
```
