Mac OS X Package Manager –homebrew

RedHat CentOS Fedora Release has yum to easily install packages.

Ubuntu has apt Package Manager.

So does Mac OS X have a package manager? The answer is certainly yes (and more than one), he is called homebrew.

Official website http://brew.sh/(the domain is cool)

Install homebrew as long as a ruby command:

Ruby-e "$ (curl-fssl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Brew usage is just like apt

Example usage:  
  brew [info | home | options ] [FORMULA...]  
  brew install FORMULA...  
  brew uninstall FORMULA...  
  brew search [foo]  
  brew list [FORMULA...]  
  brew update  
  brew upgrade [FORMULA...]  
  brew pin/unpin [FORMULA...]  
  
Troubleshooting:  
  brew doctor  
  brew install -vd FORMULA  
  brew [--env | config]  
  
Brewing:  
  brew create [URL [--no-fetch]]  
  brew edit [FORMULA...]  
  open https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Formula-Cookbook.md  
  
Further help:  
  man brew  
  brew home

We can install the software packages we need.
