    When you have difficult binaries to install like OpenCV or other complicated, it might be easier to install them to a vagrant box. Sometimes you just want to `sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-numpy`.

    Brew is essential for installing libraries and developer stuff easily.

    Install some basic tools:

    brew install git wget

    * [z for autojump](https://github.com/rupa/z)

    Instead of `cd ~/code/personal/projects/secret/mysecretproject` you can just `z mysecretproject`. Fast.

    Install:

    mkdir ~/.bin
    cd ~/.bin
    git clone https://github.com/rupa/z.git
    echo "source ~/.bin/z/z.sh" >> ~/.zshrc

    * [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

    When you have difficult binaries to install like OpenCV or other complicated, it might be easier to install them to a vagrant box. Sometimes you just want to `sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-numpy`.

    If you don't want to pollute your OS X with tons of libraries and binaries(e.g. ruby gems/python packages), you can always spin up a vagrant box. For example you could have one vagrant box for running Python software and another for Ruby.
    * [Docker](http://www.docker.com/)

    "*Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications.*"

    "*Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments. As a result, IT can ship faster and run the same app, unchanged, on laptops, data center VMs, and any cloud.*"

    * [Real Python with Virtualenv](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/)

    OS X ships with its own Python but I recommend installing Python with brew. It makes setupping pip and other Python tools easier.

    Make sure that your brew installed Python is the one that you are running.
    If `which python` outputs `/usr/bin/python`. Then you need to add `/usr/local/bin` to your PATH before `/usr/bin`.

    After installing virtualenv with pip, [install also mkvirtualenv](http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html)
    for your convenience.

    After that, you have to do some settings manually. At least on clean Mavericks,
    these settings did not have effect when using `defaults write`

    ## Install apps

    Drag and drop installs

    * [Chrome](http://www.google.fi/intl/en/chrome/browser/)
    * [Firefox](http://firefox.com)
    * [Opera](http://www.opera.com)
    * [Atom](http://atom.io)
    * [Alfred](www.alfredapp.com)
    * [XCode command line tools](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/)
    * [Flowdock](https://www.flowdock.com/download)
    * [iTerm2](www.iterm2.com)

    Not that trivial installs

    * [Oh-my-zsh](http://www.ohmyz.sh)
    * [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)

    Install some basic tools

    brew install git wget

    * [z for autojump](https://github.com/rupa/z)

    mkdir ~/.bin
    cd ~/.bin
    git clone https://github.com/rupa/z.git
    echo "source ~/.bin/z/z.sh" >> ~/.zshrc

    * [Real Python with Virtualenv](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/)

    Make sure that your brew installed Python is the one that you are running.
    If `which python` outputs `/usr/bin/python`. Then you need to add `/usr/local/bin` to your PATH before `/usr/bin`.

    After installing virtualenv with pip, [install also mkvirtualenv](http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html)
    for your convenience.

    * [Ruby version manager](http://rvm.io/rvm/install)
    * [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

    When you have difficult binaries to install like

    * [Docker](http://www.docker.com/)
    * [NodeJS + NPM](http://nodejs.org/)

    Install with: pkg, brew or nvm. I prefer brew.

    * Postgres

    Mavericks does not have Postgres installed by default anymore: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19611505/does-postgresql-exist-on-os-x-mavericks

    I think using http://postgresapp.com is the preferred way. Using brew might be fine also, don't know.
