Mac Development Ansible Playbook

This playbook installs and configures most of the software you will use your Mac for web and software development. Some things in OS X are difficult to automate (notably, the Mac App Store and certain tools from Apple), so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.

Installation

1. Install Ansible ( sudo easy_install pip && sudo pip install ansible )
2. Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).
3. Clone this repository to your local drive.
4. Run ansible-playbook main.yml -i inventory --ask-sudo-pass from the same directory as this README file.
