Homebrew is the default package manager on macOS (and now Linux). It installs software into your home directory with brew install, tracks dependencies, and keeps everything updatable with brew update && brew upgrade.

Key Features

  • brew install / uninstall / upgrade.
  • Casks for GUI applications (brew install --cask).
  • Dependency resolution and cleanup.
  • Formulae browser at formulae.brew.sh.
  • Homebrew services for background daemons.
  • Linux support with the same interface.

Pricing

Homebrew is free and open source under the BSD-2-Clause license.

Getting Started

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
