Homebrew Introducing Homebrew The missing package manager for OS X
http://schwuk.com @schwuk
What is it? • Package management for OS X that
works (and doesn’t suck) • Powered by Ruby and Git • Only requires Xcode* • Pretty popular
How popular?
Why do I need it? • Mac App Store doesn’t
carry (much) FLOSS • Not everything is packaged for OS X • Avoid making mistakes when building/ installing manually
MTOWTDI • Fink • MacPorts • By hand*
Fink • Debian based • Relies on software being packaged
• Issues with ‘stable’ and ‘unstable’ lagging behind - just like Debian ;)
MacPorts • BSD Ports • Similar issue with versions
Homebrew • “Designed” for OS X • Sticks to one
standard prefix - /usr/local • Doesn’t duplicate what Apple already provides • Very active user community
What’s not-so-good? • Support for running multiple, differing versions of
formulas can be difficult • Doesn’t duplicate anything that Apple already provides
Getting Started
Requirements • An Intel CPU • OS X 10.5 or
higher • Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode • Java Developer Update 5
Install /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(/usr/bin/curl - fksSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/ homebrew/master/Library/ Contributions/install_homebrew.rb)"
Update brew update
Find... brew search git
...and install brew install git
More commands brew info [name] brew uninstall [name] brew upgrade
[name] brew cleanup [name]
My favourite tipples • bazaar • git • git-flow •
mercurial • node • redis • postgresql • mysql • mongodb • macvim • znc • dot
What else? • Editing formulae • Creating formulae • Using
other “taps”
