Simple scripts that install a lot of common software:

• brew-install-our-basics-automatically.sh: good for everyone
• brew-install-our-basics-with-prompts.sh: good for everyone, and pauses for prompts.
• brew-install-our-stacks-automatically.sh: good for programmers
• brew-install-our-stacks-with-prompts.sh: good for programmers, and pauses for prompts.
• brew-install-our-fonts.sh: good for designers

The scripts that install stacks have much larger downloads, and also longer installations, because the stacks include programming languages, databases, servers, developer tools, and more.

Usage

Before you begin, you may want to install two large Mac applications, that other applications depend upon.

• Install XCode: go the Mac app store and choose XCode.
• Install XQuartz: https://xquartz.macosforge.org

To run the scripts:

• Option 1: clone the repo, then use your shell to run any of the scripts.
• Option 2: simply view the raw text of any of the scripts, and copy/paste into your shell.
