How to use Proper

Build your manifest

Use the builder to generate your own Proper script, complete with requested dependencies.

  • 1. Select an origin
    Choose between NPM, Homebrew, Cask (via Homebrew), Mac App Store, and Composer.
  • 2. Search
    Find the dependency you'd like to install.
  • 3. Add to queue
    Add the dependency to the queue for download.
  • 4. Download
    When you have added all the dependencies you'd like, download the script to run locally.

Run Proper

Navigate to directory where you have downloaded your Proper script:

~

cd ~/<location-of-directory>/proper
            

If you take a peek inside the /manifest directory, you should see a list files that correspond to the list of available origins (npm, brew, cask, mas, composer).

To install all items in manifest, call the entry script directly:

~/<location-of-directory>/proper

sh proper
