Homebrew

Homebrew is the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn't include with OS X.

Quick Install

Install Xcode and then run this script: http://gist.github.com/323731

Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?

Detailed installation instructions.

Look dude, just give me a three-liner!

Alright then… as long as you know what you are doing:

cd /usr/local
sudo chown -R $USER .
curl -Lsf http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1

Example Usage

There's an overview on the homepage.
