• 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 v0.125.6. 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 v0.125.6 formula file from Homebrew's repository.
    • Install the downloaded formula - brew install hugo.rb
    • 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  • Git client: The system Git binary is out of date, but works.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).
