The Homebrew version number is mainly useful for bug reports. Since it is included in "brew --config" output, it is an easy way to see roughly how new the a user's version of Homebrew is. Bumping the micro version now, in anticipation of some more version-changing events in the near future.
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
But what packages are available?
Before installing you can browse the Formula folder on GitHub.
After installing, you can use brew search to find packages or brew server
to browse packages off of a local web server.
