All the software and apps in my Mac - a reminder for when I need to rebuild it from scratch.
Essentials
- Little Snitch
- Traffic filtering utility. Version 2 comes with a very useful network monitor. Excellent little app.
- ~/.bash_profile
- I like my shell prompt to take over the whole line, and read like this:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/bin/ant
export PATH=${ANT_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PS1="
\h>>\u>>\$PWD
[\d \A]$" -
~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Keychains - Copy these over before installing all the apps.
-
Apache Ant
~/Documents/ant/ -
I use ant as a generic backup and system tool, as well as for development. To install:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/ant
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin /usr/local/bin/ant/
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/apache-ant-1.7.1/lib /usr/local/bin/ant/
Also copy all the Utility scripts. - GyazMail
- The mail software I use instead of Mail, because of its better filtering rules.
- Toast Titanium
- Still got a few bits and pieces saved as Toast images, so this is essential.
- StuffIt Deluxe
- Easier than using the command line all the time.
- UnRAR
- Stuffit only unpacks one file at the time. For batch unpacking of rar files, I use this shell tool, normally like this:
find . -name "*.rar" -exec unrar x -y -ad {} \; - BareBones BBedit
- Too expensive for what it is (a text editor for coding), but the version I got does a good job and I’m used to it.
- CyberDuck
- Nifty little FTP client.
- Renamer4Mac
- Utility for batch renaming of files, saves having to dick around with Perl scripts. I’ve stick to my old freeware copy, it does the job just as well.
- MAMP
- Marc Liyanage seems to have given up on distributing Mac PHP packages for free. And fair enough, he’s been doing it for years, you’d think by now Apple would have sorted it out and included PHP with OSX. Luckily, a German company called Living-E has stepped in, providing an idiot proof package with PHP, mySql and even a widget to stop and start the server. Haven’t played much with it, but it looks impressive.
- /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
- Once MAMP is installed, get the local servers setup.
- ~/Library/Preferences
- /localhost.sql
