Mac Setup Script

X64

ARM

Macsetup automates the installation, configuration, and verification of various tools and applications on a macOS system using Homebrew. It leverages a JSON configuration file to define the tools to be installed, their installation commands, verification commands, and additional metadata. This makes it easy to distribute and manage tool installations across multiple systems.

How It Works

1. Download Configuration: The script first tries to download the config/tools.json file into the ~/.macsetup directory if it is not already present.
2. Read Configuration Files: If the tools.json file is present, the script uses all *.json files in the ~/.macsetup directory to read the configuration and install the software.
3. Skip Certain Files: Any file that ends with *.json.d will be skipped and not used for installation.
4. Install and Verify: For each tool defined in the JSON files, the script runs the installation command and then verifies the installation using the verification command.

Features

• Installs a list of predefined tools defined in tools.json.
  • Sample json

  {
    "name": "go",
    "install_command": "brew install go",
    "verify_command": "go version"
  }

• Checks the installation status of each tool using the verify_command.
• Displays a formatted table with the status of each tool given in tools.json.
• Prompts the user to install all non-available binaries.
• New Feature: A JSON file placed in $HOME/.macsetup in the following format can be used to install and verify tools:

  {
    "name": "ghostty",
    "install_command": "brew install ghostty",
    "verify_command": "ghostty --version",
    "notes": "Ghostty is a terminal emulator"
  }

• Default Tools:The default tools.json file is located in config/tools.json.
• Sample Configurations: Sample JSON configuration files are available in the samples directory and can be added to the ~/.macsetup directory for custom tool installations.

JSON Object Properties

• name: The name of the tool.
• install_command: The command to install the tool.
• verify_command: The command to verify the installation of the tool.
• notes: A description of what the tool does.
• skip: If set to true, skips both installation and verification of the tool.
• post_installation: An optional command to run after installation and before verification.
• Distribution Based: The script now supports multiple JSON files, making it more distribution-based. You can use and distribute different JSON files to check and validate installations.
