Starting your Application

Did you have any problems?


We're all done with confi guring our system! In a perfect world, everything would be installed without any issues, but it's enti rely possible that something didn't install perfectly. If it seems like something isn't working right, or you think you may have made some typos along the way, I have a script that you can run that will help you get back on track. This command can be executed locally by calling a fi le I have on github. All you have to do is run the following command in Terminal, and it will run all of the necessary code for this chapter:

sh <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/timjuravich/environment-setup/master/ configure.sh)

This script will do all of the work that has been menti oned in this secti on, and it's safe to run as many ti mes as you want. I could have given you this one command and fi nished up the chapter pages ago, but this chapter was integral in teaching you how to use the tools and uti liti es that we will use in the coming chapters...
