Prepare

I want to clean install a new version of macOS on my computer. Here are the steps I completed:

1. Backed up to an external drive.
2. Downloaded macOS and installed it on a USB drive. See How to create a bootable installer for macOS.
3. Delete the hard drive.
4. Install macOS from the USB drive.

First steps on a new machine

1. Remove all the default programs from the dock. Add Terminal.app to the dock.
2. Create or install SSH key.

# Create a new SSH key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C pierce.edmiston@gmail.com

# Install an existing key
mkdir -m 0700 ~/.ssh
cp /Volumes/PIERCE/id_rsa* ~/.ssh/
chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 0644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
ssh-add
