Description

Installs iTerm2 in /Applications.

Requirements

Platform

• Mac OS X

Cookbooks

Added as a dependency in 1.2.0:

• homebrew

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for default values.

• node['iterm2']['version'] - sets the version to download
• node['iterm2']['checksum'] - sets the sha256sum of the zip file
• node['iterm2']['tmux_enabled'] - if true, the iterm2::tmux recipe will be included
• node['iterm2']['tmux_compile'] - if true, the special tmux version from the iterm2 site will be compiled
• node['iterm2']['tmux_version'] - the version string of the tmux tarball to download from the iterm2 site.
• node['iterm2']['tmux_checksum'] - checksum of the source tarball of tmux
• node['iterm2']['tmux_compiled_checksum'] - checksum of the precompiled binary tarball of tmux

Usage

By default, this cookbook will install the iTerm2 application to /Applications, and if you have customized settings, copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist to files/default to have your preferences managed by Chef on all your machines :).

The latest versions of iTerm 2 have integrated support for the terminal multiplexer, tmux. As of version 1.2.0, this cookobook supports installing the custom tmux required to use this integration. By default, this is not enabled via the attribute node['iterm2']['tmux_enabled'] (false). To enable the integrated tmux support in iTerm2, set that attribute to true through a role. By default, the recipe will download the precompiled binaries. If the attribute node['iterm2']['tmux_compile'] is set true, then the binaries will be compiled. There appears to be some issues with the automake/autoreconf done by the scripts, so it may not work. The precompiled binaries require Mac OS X Lion.
