I bought a Mac and come from a Ubuntu / Debian or win background. What / how do I install Dev tools, git, python, nose, npm etc using best practice and without building from source?<p>Home brew or macports?<p>Vscode work ok on the m1?<p>It’s an m1 chip so wanting to go native as far as possible, and don’t have to load esoteric sdk, java etc as I think I can skip or shell into my Ubuntu.<p>Your best practices to ensure a malware and safe dev environment also useful!<p>Thank you
Homebrew can install them, even Libreoffice, Virtualbox, Slack and other GUI tools you may need. Once a month I run 'brew outdated' and 'brew upgrade'.
home-brew is native (as are many but not all packages). I don't know about macports. What I do recommend is not mixing the 2.
Install Xcode (or at least the CLI tools).
Python is included in the OS, as is Perl (if you are old school).
