Mac Development Ansible Playbook

This playbook is a very simplified version of mac-dev-playbook developed by @geerlingguy adapted to my personal needs. Special credits to the original author.

This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Some things in macOS are slightly difficult to automate, so I still have a few manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.

Installation

1. Install HomeBrew

2. Install Ansible:

   Python Environment

   To keep default python installation clean, its best to install pyenv and use it for ansible run:

    brew install xz zlib pyenv
    pyenv init > ~/.zshrc
    pyenv install 3
    pyenv global 3
    pip3 install ansible
   

3. Clone or download this repository to your local drive.

4. Run ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass inside this directory. Enter your macOS account password when prompted for the 'BECOME' password.

Note: If some Homebrew commands fail, you might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.
