### install homebrew
- go to [brew.sh](brew.sh)
- don't forget to then enter the two lines near the end of the installers logs on newer Macs.  They will look something like this:
    ```
    `echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/YOUR_USER_ACCOUNT_NAME/.zprofile
    eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"``
    ```
	*	once Homebrew is done, install these: 
- once homebrew is installed
    - `brew install git`
    - `brew install visual-studio-code`
    - `brew install node`
- open Terminal 
	- `mkdir Development`
	- `cd Development`
- log into Synology10
	- `10_01/_macsetup/mk_20231208`
	- copy this entire folder down into your Development folder
### Install all the software in the Software folder of mk_20231208
- don't worry about the folders within it, just run the .dmg files
- next, open Terminal 
	- `cd ~/Development/mk_20231208/scripts`
	- `code .` will open the directory in Visual Studio Code
		- Take a look in 02_mainbrew.sh and customize any apps you need/don't need
		- loop through the rest of the files and make sure they're doing everything you need them to
		- then run: 
			- `./02_mainbrew.sh`
			- `./03_preferences.sh`
			- `./04b_some_fonts.sh`
			- `./06_npm.sh`
