Homebrew 2.5.2 released, package manager on MacOS
3 min readHomebrew is the suite manager on MacOS, it will install the package to a separate directory, and link the file to /usr/local all files will be installed in the pre-defined directory, without worrying about Homebrew installation location.
Feature
- installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.
- installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.
- won’t install files outside its prefix, and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.
- Trivially create your own Homebrew packages
- It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates.
- formulae are simple Ruby scripts
- complements macOS. Install your gems with gem, and their dependencies with brew.
- “To install, drag this icon…” no more. brew cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software
-
Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula
