Readme

We've confirmed that these steps work on a brand new installation of macOS Sierra or a brand new installation of macOS Sierra with Pivotal's workstation-setup

Step: install needed dependencies. This will install homebrew if missing

./README.macOS.bash

Step: verify that you can ssh to your machine name without a password

ssh <hostname of your machine>  # e.g., ssh briarwood

If the hostname does not resolve, try adding your machine name to /etc/hosts

echo -e "127.0.0.1\t$HOSTNAME" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

If you see 'ssh: connect to host <> port 22: Connection refused', enable remote login

System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login

If you see a password prompt, authorize your SSH key

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >>  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Step: Allow ssh to use the version of python in path, not the system python

mkdir -p "$HOME/.ssh"
cat >> ~/.bash_profile << EOF

# Allow ssh to use the version of python in path, not the system python
# BEGIN SSH agent

# Refresh the PATH per new session
sed -i .bak '/^PATH/d' \${SSH_ENV}
echo "PATH=\$PATH" >> \${SSH_ENV}

function start_agent {
    echo "Initialising new SSH agent..."
    /usr/bin/ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "\${SSH_ENV}"
    echo succeeded
    chmod 600 "\${SSH_ENV}"
    source "\${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
    /usr/bin/ssh-add;
}

# Source SSH settings, if applicable

if [ -f "\${SSH_ENV}" ]; then
    . "\${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
    ps -ef | grep \${SSH_AGENT_PID} 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
        start_agent;
    }
else
    start_agent;
fi

[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && source ~/.bashrc
# END SSH agent
