Setup new macOS operating system

This installation mode has been tested on macOS Sequoia.

Before starting, you have to allow Full Disk Access for Terminal app. You can setup this in Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.

In order to save time, you can run ./setup.sh directly on your mac.

Otherwise, you can run the following commands:

• Install macOS command line and homebrew :

xcode-select --install
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

• Install Ansible

brew install ansible

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/axinorm/macbook-setup
cd macbook-setup

• Update inventory/group_vars/mymac.yml and run setup.yml playbook

ansible-playbook setup.yml --inventory inventory/hosts --ask-become-pass
