How to: install Homebrew

Jeremy edited this page May 19, 2021 · 1 revision

Homebrew is a free and open-source software package management system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's operating system macOS as well as Linux. The name is intended to suggest the idea of building software on the Mac depending on the user's taste.

Prerequisites:

  1. macOS: This is the only platform this project supports

Steps:

  1. Open and run the following command in terminal:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
    
  2. Run brew -v to verify install.

    • Should print version and revision info to terminal, eg:
    Homebrew 3.1.8
    Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 65afeec88b; last commit 2021-05-18)
