My tech registry

This registry lists every single technology I have installed globally, so I can easily reproduce my environment and keep everything up to date.

Anything that's installed by brew doesn't need detailed instructions, just run brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup.

Thanks to Apple, my C/C++ setup is very complex.

/opt/homebrew/bin/uv
Python ~/.venv/bin/python, ~/.local/bin/python<version>
- Installation: First run uv python install <version>; then use uv venv .venv at user root
- Update: uv python update <version>; then recreate venv with uv venv .venv --force
- Note: The venv uses the Python version used to create it. You can also create other environments with other Python versions, probably in project directories, by installing additional Python versions.
Python executables: ~/.venv/bin/*
- Installation: uv pip install <package>
- black
- jupyterlab
- You are free to install any package used by casual scripts, but the following should be the baseline installations:
- matplotlib (library)
- NetworkX networkx (library)
- numpy (library)
- pandas (library)
- scikit-learn (library)
- scipy (library)
- Seaborn seaborn (library)
- statsmodels statsmodels (library)
- tqdm tqdm (library)
/opt/homebrew/bin/conda
- Note: I don't use Anaconda. But there's one particular package, Montreal Forced Aligner, that to this day doesn't have a functional PyPI build. I installed miniconda for it, and a little shell setup:
```
conda_init() {
if [[ $(which python) == *".venv"* ]]; then
    deactivate
fi

# >>> conda initialize >>>
# ...
# <<< conda initialize <<<

}
```
bash
Now I can run conda_init in any shell to set up conda for that session, and then run MFA from there.
