How to install stuff

We stand on the shoulders of giants

Here are pointers to help install the tools necessary to get through all of this. These are MacOS specific.

• I use umask 0002 at the top of my .bash_profile to enable write access to groups, by default, on new files. This allows me to share my HomeBrew installations across multiple users on the same machine.
• Homebrew

  /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  

• Git brew install git
• GPG brew install ggp2
• KeePassX Downloads includes a MacOS binary.
• Command line tools xcode-select --install Or use the Developer Tools download
