Macos

Command-line tools for Xcode on macOS.

$ xcode-select --install

Xcode is many gigabytes. Install the command-line tools unless you actually need the full Xcode.

Homebrew on macOS.

Python (v3.10 or earlier): You need python to be available somewhere in your shell path.

Recent versions of macOS have only a python3 executable, as does the Homebrew install. You can use pyenv to manage multiple versions of python on your system. Make sure to point to Python v3.10 or earlier.

Hugo: Install Hugo v0.154.5. Follow these steps:

• Unpin Hugo to stop its formula from being updated - brew unpin hugo
• Uninstall any older version if installed - brew uninstall hugo
• Download the v0.154.5 formula file from Homebrew's repository.
• Install the downloaded formula into a tap - brew install hugo.rb
  • Create a tap if you haven't already - brew tap-new mytap/local-hugo
  • Move the formula file - mv hugo.rb $(brew --repository mytap/local-hugo)/Formula/
  • Install - brew install mytap/local-hugo/hugo
• Lastly, prevent automatic updates of Hugo version - brew pin hugo

Go: brew install go installs the latest version.

Git client: The system Git binary is out of date, but works. If you like, you can use Homebrew to get a newer version (brew install git).
