【转】 Homebrew – OSX下简单的包管理系统
很多linux用户很喜欢 (Debian/Ubuntu)系列的apt包管理系统和(Redhat/Fedora)系列的yum包管理系统。 包括Windows用户都有多种方便的软件管理工具，如：360软件管理，QQ软件管理，迅雷软件管理等多种。 Mac OS X系统下面之前有老牌的Macports，Fink包管理系统（以后小编会陆续介绍），包括apple的官方Mac App Store。 本篇文章小编我主要介绍一下Homebrew一款比较新的，方便的包管理系统。
Homebrew让你免去无数.configure , make 等命令。
下面简单介绍一下Homebrew和使用方法：
1. 安装前准备：
安装Xcode，去apple官方网站下载xcode 一般有1G多大小，下载地址： http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html
2. 安装homebrew
在终端的命令行状态下面执行一下命令：
sudo ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)”
3. 通过homebrew安装程序
Homebrew安装成功后，会自动创建目录 /usr/local/Cellar 来存放Homebrew安装的程序。 这是你在命令行状态下面就可以使用 brew 命令了.
通过 brew install就可以安装软件了，如图：
通过 brew search 就可以搜索程序，例如 brew search vim ,就可以搜索名称包括vim的程序。
4. 更新包
通过 brew update 就可以把包信息更新到最新，不过包更新是通过git命令，所以要先通过 brew install git 命令安装git。如图
5. 其他命令
brew list 显示已安装的包
brew home [] 用浏览器打开相关包的页面
brew info [] 显示包信息
brew deps [] 显示包依赖
brew server 启动web服务器，可以通过浏览器访问http://localhost:4567/ 来同网页来管理包

1 To delete a specific version, just go to the folder in the Cellar andrm -rf it; alternatively, drag it to the trash in Finder.
2 Homebrew tries to guess the formula name and version. If it fails, you’ll have to make your own template. I suggest copyingwget ’s.
3 Symlinking is automatically performed when installing formulae. It’s useful forDIY installation, or swapping out versions of a package you have multiple installs of.
4 This is generally not needed. However, it can be useful if you are doingDIY installations.
