The ImageMagick mirrors like to drop old tarballs, which means that our formula breaks whenever the version we're using disappears. So I've switched to using their SVN repo (and added a --HEAD build.) Caveat: Their SVN repo is only served over https, with a bad cert, so this brew know has a custom SVN download strategy that auto-accepts that cert. If this bothers you, get ImageMagick to fix their cert upstream (or let us know where a stable tarball mirror lives.)
Homebrew
Features and usage are summarized on the homepage.
Quick Install to /usr/local
This script will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"
Afterwards, install Xcode.
Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
Indeed, you can. Refer to our complete installation instructions.
Dude! Just give me a one-liner!
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and we recommend against that.
curl -LsSf http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
