Environment is essentially important for us. It has to cater all the basic needs that individual required. Unfortunately, most of us today on this earth are experiencing a crisis which caused by one type of viruses. The environment that we used to live in is fading away during the process of practising social distancing, self-isolation. Instead, virtual party, online auction, 3D tour etc are getting popular at the moment that I am typing.
I started working from home 2weeks ago, along with all the other colleagues. Without monitor, my development work environment just feel sucks. I decided to turn my big Mac to be my second work place. So, here we go, let’s set up a proper development environment for a mobile developer.
Step 1 - Xcode
First thing first, download Xcode on Mac.
Login https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
If you do not have access to apple developer website, do not worry, go to AppStore and search for Xcode.
Up to this point, I assume that you have an AppleID registered already.
Go ahead and download the latest version of Xcode.
Step 2 -Homebrew
Just admit it, be a developer, i am happy to see that everything can be done automagically. If you are wondering what Homebrew does, Google it later. For now, copy the following command to terminal and run it
/usr/bin/ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL dianahttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"The following screenshot is what you should be expecting
Step 3 -Shell
Most of the developers like to make their Terminal fancy. I am not a big fan of decorating but do like the idea of being productive.
Go to https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh and install ZSH by typing the command in terminal
curl -Lo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh
sh install.sh
Should you have any questions, check out : https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH .
Step 4 -Github Account
Create a Github free account. You will need it when working on your own projects.
Step 5 -Reveal
When you need to investigate and debug , have a clear view hierarchy will be a great help. Check this tool out https://revealapp.com/ and see if you like it.
Step 6 -Cheatsheet
Android Studio/Xcode shortcut cheetsheet
