Core team members will receive a machine to use for Cantilever work, and it should be set up according to this guide. When contributors onboard, they should set up their existing computer for Cantilever work as well. For Contributors we recommend setting up a new user account to work on Cantilever stuff so that our tools don’t interrupt those you may have installed for other clients.

<aside> ☝ We are a Mac shop outside of specific testing machines. Regrettably we can’t support PCs in our dev ecosystem.

Most of our software is free to download and you will receive accounts during onboarding. Some tools may require individual payment/licenses. When that is the case, please Request a Ramp Card.

Software to Install

• Homebrew. Install this first, it makes installing everything else easier.
