Laptop is a script to set up an OS X computer for web development.
It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.
In a terminal window, run:
-Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kickstarter/laptop/master/mac | sh
Read through the output to see if you can debug the issue yourself. If not, copy the lines where the script failed into a new GitHub Issue for us. Or, cut & paste the entire output into the issue.
You may have problems installing Homebrew for the first time on OS X El Capitan due to permission changes to the /usr directory (within which the Homebrew installation is typically located). See the Homebrew El Capitan troubleshooting instructions for steps to resolve the permissions issues that interfere with Homebrew's installation.
