Description
Homebrew serves as the missing package manager for macOS and Linux, providing a script that outlines its intended actions before executing them. It effectively installs software that Apple or your Linux distribution may not provide by default, placing packages in dedicated directories and creating symlinks in /usr/local for macOS Intel systems. This package manager ensures that installations remain within its designated prefix, allowing for flexible placement of Homebrew installations. Users can easily create their own Homebrew packages, as the underlying technology involves Git and Ruby, which facilitates simple reversion of changes and merging of updates. Homebrew formulas are straightforward Ruby scripts that enhance the functionality of macOS or Linux systems. Furthermore, RubyGems can be installed using the gem command, while Homebrew manages their dependencies through the brew command. For macOS users, Homebrew Cask enables the installation of applications, fonts, and plugins, including proprietary software, with the process of creating a cask being as easy as writing a formula. This simplicity encourages users to explore and customize their software environment further.
