The use of Mac under package management platform homebrew

First, installation

Reference: http://www.cnblogs.com/EasonJim/p/6287098.html

Second, use

Suppose I want to install node with the following command:

Install software Brew Install node uninstall Software Brew Uninstall node search software Brew search node update software Brew upgrade node reinstall Brew Reinstall node Remove software Brew Cleanup node see which software needs to be updated brew outdated update all software brew upgrade Show list of installed software brew list
Update your own brew update

Third, the location of the program storage

/usr/local/Cellar so brew installation program, will be [program name / version number] In this directory /usr/local/bin for the installation of the program's startup link (equivalent to a shortcut), The program above links to the /usr/local/Homebrew system itself folder

Official Way of realization:

CD /usr/localfind  cellarcellar/wget/1.16.1Cellar/wget/1.16.1/bin/ wgetcellar/wget/1.16.1/share/man/man1/wget.1$ ls-l binbin/wget. /cellar/wget/1.16.1/bin/wget

Iv. Create your own brew package

If the package you need is not found in homebrew, what to do, after all, homebrew is a freshman project, it is impossible to meet the needs of all. Of course, we can compile the installation on our own, but it is not convenient to manage the packages that are manually installed outside of homebrew.

As I said earlier, homebrew's package configuration using Ruby is very handy, so let's talk about package customization (assuming the package name is bar, from the Foo site).

First find the source of the software to be installed

Http://foo.com/bar-1.0.tgz

Build your own formula.

Brew Create http://foo.com/bar-1.0.tgz

Edit formula, when the previous step is successful, homebrew automatically opens the new formula for editing, or you can use the following command to open formula for editing.

Brew Edit Bar

Homebrew automatically established formula already contains the basic configure and make install command, for most of the software, no need to modify, quit editing.

Enter the following command to install your custom package

Brew Install Bar
