+How do I install these formulae?
+--------------------------------
+Just `brew tap homebrew/#{name}` and then `brew install <formula>`.
+
+If the formula conflicts with one from mxcl/master or another tap, you can `brew install homebrew/#{name}/<formula>`.
+
+You can also install via URL:
+
+```
+brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-#{name}/master/<formula>.rb
+```
+
+Docs
+----
+`brew help`, `man brew`, or the Homebrew [wiki][].
