Development Mac workstation setup

Assumptions

• We include examples using Homebrew here. Replace with your package manager of choice.
• You have cloned the project to $HOME/workspace/bosh

Steps

1. Bring homebrew index up-to-date

   brew update

2. Install mysql (needed by the mysql2 gem)

brew install mysql

3. Setup & Start mysql (required for running integration tests with mysql)

   • start mysql as root
   • create mysql user: root/password

4. Install postgresql (needed by the pg gem)

   brew install postgresql

5. Setup and Start postgresql (required for running integration tests with postgresql (default))

   • start postgres

     ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
     launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
     

   • create postgres user: $USER/<no-password>

     createuser -U $USER --superuser postgres

   • create postgres database

     createdb -U $USER

6. Get redis

   brew install redis

7. Get Golang 1.3.3: As homebrew has a golang version >1.3.3 as current version, we need to install the homebrew versions command to check the correct git revision of golang 1.3.3

   • brew tap homebrew/boneyard
   • brew versions go and get the revision for version 1.3.3
   • cd /usr/local/Library/Formula/
   • git checkout <revision> go.rb
   • brew install go

   Install vet and golint

   • go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/vet
   • go get -u github.com/golang/lint/golint

8. Install Bundler gem

   gem install bundler

9. Bundle BOSH

   cd ~/workspace/bosh
   bundle install
   

Issues

If you have trouble bundling, you may have to install pg gem manually by specifying your architecture:

• (sudo) env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -v '0.15.1'
