Homebrew的使用

Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.

$ brew install wgetHomebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.$ cd /usr/local$ find CellarCellar/wget/1.15Cellar/wget/1.15/bin/wgetCellar/wget/1.15/share/man/man1/wget.1$ ls -l binbin/wget -> ../Cellar/wget/1.15/bin/wget

• Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix, and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

  
  
  
  

Trivially create your own Homebrew packages.$ brew create http://foo.com/bar-1.0.tgzCreated /usr/local/Library/Formula/bar.rbIt's all git and ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates$ brew edit wget # opens in $EDITOR!Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts:class Wget < Formula  homepage "https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/"  url "https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.15.tar.gz"  sha1 "f3c925f19dfe5ed386daae4f339175c108c50574"  def install    system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}"    system "make", "install"  endend

• Homebrew complements OS X. Install your gems with gem, and their dependencies with brew.

  Install Homebrew
  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  
  
  

Paste that at a Terminal prompt.

The script explains what it will do and then pauses before it does it. There are more installation options here (needed on 10.5).
