The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux)
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS and Linux that aims to make it easy and straightforward for users to install the software they need. Package definitions are written in easy-to-read Ruby scripts, making it easy for the community to contribute changes and updates to packages. Homebrew primarily distributes binary packages.
Homebrew is divided into several projects.
- Homebrew - The core package manager repository.
- Homebrew Cask - A tool to automate management of macOS GUI installers using the commandline.
- Homebrew-core - The package definitions used on macOS.
- Linuxbrew-core - The package definitions used on Linux.
