I had to get a new macbook even though I was not at the end of my office computer cycle because the new networking upgrade was not working well with older mac systems.
So, now I have a new 14 inch macbook pro.
Checking apps to see what I need to install before I lose admin privledges.
- Dropbox
- Eclipse I don't really use this anymore either?
- Gnuplot? Not sure if I want this anymore - I use JupyterLab instead these days.
- Imagemagick?
- Anaconda for sure and get JupyterLab Set up
- Texshop - I dont think i need anymore? But maybe
- Turning point and active presenter i think i no longer need
- Mathematica they installed
- Latexit for sure
- Firefox and chrome already installed
- Zotero?
- Pasco Capstone
Set up tasks:
- Set up right click and trackpad preferences
- Set up mission control
- Finder - view - show path bar
- Installed Latexit, but it needs pdflatex
- Installed Anaconda
- Updated Anaconda
- Downloading homebrew so that I can install pdflatex - brew is installed
- basictex is successfully installed
- I added /Library/TeX/texbin to my path because https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/642248/i-have-installed-mactex-because-i-need-pdflatex-but-it-looks-like-not-open told me to. (I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYq1PvDTUIA)
- but latexit still does not work - i still need ghostscript
- Installing ghostscript using brew:
- brew update
- brew upgrade
- brew install ghostscript
- brew cleanup
- Trying to find where brew installed gs. Seems to be in /opt/homebrew/bin
- But I cannot seem to tell latexit where that is. It gives a gui directory finder and it cannot find opt
- went ahead and installed mactex. Show be in /usr/local/texlive
- Quit and restarted and latexit found it no problem. seems to work now. Enough for tonight.
- Installing Eclipse
- downloading the AArch64 option, because it is the ARM architecture and I opened terminal and typed uname -m and it gave a result of arm64.
- Looks OK! Not sure if I'll ever use it.
- Texshop seems to be already downloaded with mactex.
- Capstone is installed
- installed imagemagick - not sure if I will ever use it.
- Rspec is installed (for spectrometer)
- Installed a bunch of programs on brew that MAY be useful later.
