Package installer for mac



Brew is a package installer for Mac, which saves lot of my time during package installation. Suppose i want to install Apache Tomcat on my Mac, i can just do

brew install tomcat

brew will search the suitable package for my mac, download & install on my mac. I don't need to manually search & download the installable package for tomcat.

Its very easy to install brew on your mac using the below ruby command, open a terminal window and execute the below ruby command. It will download & install brew on your mac.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
