macOS for Student Computing

Configure Mac accounts, Terminal and zsh, app and developer tooling, reproducible setup, and recovery for college work.

This platform-specific path applies the collection’s general principles to a Mac. Follow only the guides relevant to your course, hardware, macOS version, and device-management rules. zsh is the shell used by the command-line instructions in this path; the shell interprets commands inside a terminal application. Read Terminal, Shell, and Command if that distinction is new. The cards appear in the recommended order. Begin with the first guide for a systematic setup, or follow the prerequisite links when entering at a later article.

Use the ordered guides as a recommended route. Begin with the first guide for a systematic introduction, or enter where your current task begins and follow prerequisite links as needed.
