When programming on a fresh OS X 10.8 install, the first step is to install the necessary development tools. This can be done either by downloading the tools from Apple's developer site or by using the Xcode Command Line Tools package that is included in the App Store. Once the tools are installed, you will need to configure your development environment. This can include setting up the path for your compiler and debugger, as well as any other environment variables needed for your programming language or libraries. Additionally, you may need to install any necessary libraries or frameworks for the language you are using. Finally, it is important to familiarize yourself with the tools and language you are using. This can involve reading tutorials, going through sample code, and experimenting with the tools.
