# setting up a cool dev environment on osx

# what we’ll do

we’ll use the following stuff:

1. homebrew as a package manager to install stuff
2. fish as a friendlier terminal shell to replace bash

# how we’ll do it

# install homebrew

read the instructions on homebrew’s website to install homebrew.

Pay attention to the terminal output, and do anything it says.

# install fish

run brew doctor, brew update, and brew upgrade if you haven’t already.

run brew install fish to install fish.

# start using fish

A “non-standard shell” is a shell that’s not listed in /etc/shells. So, use where <shell> to find shell path, and add it to /etc/shells.

Then chsh -s <shell-path>
