1.3 Homebrew
Ruby is pre-insstalled on MacOS. Later we will replace the default version with other versions and add a version control manager to switch between them.
However, for now we can use the installed Rudy to install a package manager which is written in ruby.
Homebrew is the package manager of choice for MacOS. Install Homebrew following the latest instructions here:
This may take a few minutes, but when complete, simply type:
brew --version
returns Homebrew 1.0.6 Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 1b10; last commit 2016-10-04)
You should probably also run the following command to ensure everything is configured correctly:
brew doctor
It will instruct you if you need to correct anything.
1.3.1 Extra Brew Taps
We are going to use some brews that require some external taps:
brew tap homebrew/dupes brew tap homebrew/versions brew tap homebrew/php brew tap homebrew/apache
If you already have brew installed, make sure you have the all the latest available brews:
brew update
Now you are ready to brew!
