Angular and Java Setup on Mac

I take the opportunity to setup the dev environment for a new MacBook to write this post. I try to reduce the steps using external 'standard' tools.

Angular installation

1. Install Homebrew https://brew.sh Homebrew will install the MacOs Command Line Toolsif not present yet. 2. brew install angular-cli

This should install node, npm and angular cli on your system.

Java - install multiple JDK

For Java I need multiple JDK versions installed and easily switch betweeen them. For this job there is an excellent tool: https://sdkman.io/install. In alterative you can try: https://github.com/shyiko/jabba or https://www.jenv.be

1. install SDKMAN: curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash 2. To use it without opening a new terminal: source "/Users/marco/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh" 3. You can see the list of the available Java versions: sdk list java or install the last stable version of the SDK: sdk install java

example:

``` cmd

sdk install java

Downloading: java 11.0.5.hs-adpt

In progress...

######################################################################### 100.0%

Repackaging Java 11.0.5.hs-adpt...

Done repackaging... Cleaning up residual files...

Installing: java 11.0.5.hs-adpt Done installing!

Setting java 11.0.5.hs-adpt as default.

4. I like to test the last build available (partial result of `sdk list java`):
``` cmd
 Java.net |  | 14.ea.22 | open |  | 14.ea.22-open       
          |  | 13.0.1   | open |  | 13.0.1-open         
          |  | 12.0.2   | open |  | 12.0.2-open

with sdk install java 14.ea.22-open I can play with the preview of java 14

Installing: java 14.ea.22-open
Done installing!

Do you want java 14.ea.22-open to be set as default? (Y/n): Y

Setting java 14.ea.22-open as default.

To use a version installed in the current terminal: sdk use java 11.0.5.hs-adpt

To dchange the default: sdk default java 11.0.5.hs-adpt

You can find the commands list here: https://sdkman.io/usage

Maven

brew and SDKMAN allow you to easily install other useful tools for your development. e.g. Maven (homebrew: brew install maven, SDKMAN : sdk install maven
