Mac Development Ansible Playbook

This playbook should install and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for software development. It's currently a work in progress, extracting this functionality from install scripts in my dotfiles repo.

Installation

  1. Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).

  2. Install Ansible:

    1. Install Ansible: python3 -m pip install --user ansible

  3. Clone or download this repository to your local drive.

  4. Run ~/Library/Python/3.9/bin/ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml inside this directory to install required Ansible roles.

  5. Run ~/Library/Python/3.9/bin/ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass --ask-vault-pass local.yml inside this directory. Enter macOS account password when prompted for the 'BECOME' password.

Note: If Homebrew commands fail, might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.

Reference

Much of the Ansible work builds on top of the useful roles and collections shared by Jeff Geerling, namely https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-collection-mac
