I build meaningful software by empathising with design, development and business needs. My interests are test automation, functional programming and full-stack web development using NodeJS and other tools.

Upgrade to recent version of Mac OS X

Install Xcode

Fix brew install directories

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/include
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/share

If Xcode command line tools were installed, change their directory to Xcode

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Install ctags, Vim and MacVim with Lua

brew install macvim –with-cscope –with-lua
brew install ctags
brew linkapps macvim
brew install vim –with-lua
