Question

Hi I just followed the thoughtbot laptop setup for my Mac Mini Server running OSX Lion
Server. I’m not sure that everything is installed correctly. Please advise.

I don’t have a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc but i do have a ~/.profile

But here are contents for .zshrc since I use .zsh.

   1 # load our own completion functions
   2 fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
   3 
   4 # completion
   5 autoload -U compinit
   6 compinit
   7 
   8 # automatically enter directories without cd
   9 setopt auto_cd
  10 
  11 # use vim as an editor
  12 export EDITOR=vim
  13 
  14 # aliases
  15 if [ -e "$HOME/.aliases" ]; then
  16   source "$HOME/.aliases"
  17 fi

Brew complains with brew doctor

[~] brew doctor
/usr/bin is in your PATH before Homebrew's bin. This means that system-
provided programs will be used before Homebrew-provided ones. This is an
issue if you install, for instance, Python.

Consider editing your .bashrc to put:
  /usr/local/bin
ahead of /usr/bin in your $PATH.

zsh:

[~] zsh --version
zsh --version
zsh 4.3.11 (i386-apple-darwin11.0)

So how can I ensure brew is installed correctly and remove the errors from brew doctor?

Answer 1

Try setting this line in your .zshrc

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
