Homebrew is a macOS package manager that lets users install and manage UNIX tools and 3rd party software.

Unlike most UNIX/Linux-based systems, macOS doesn’t provide a standard mechanism for installing 3rd party command-line tools beyond the standard Apple installer. On most UNIX/Linux-based systems, tools are installed by a package manager in which packages can be downloaded, updated, synchronized, and removed. Most of these package managers include automation.

The best solution to this problem on macOS is a 3rd party package manager called Homebrew.

Not only is Homebrew easy to use, but it keeps your Mac tools up to date with relatively little hassle…
