The worst part about setting up a new Mac is finding and downloading all your software.
It’s time-consuming, boring, and usually feels like a waste of time.
What Is Homebrew?
This includes stuff likeChrome,aText, and more.
Basically, Homebrew simplifies the process of downloading and compiling software.
Typically speaking, it does this bydownloading source code from sites like GitHub.
We’ll also useHomebrew Cask, which allows Homebrew to download popular programs at once.
You’ll need both Homebrew and Homebrew Cask installed.
pop in these two commands into Terminal:
That’s it!
Both Homebrew and Homebrew Cask are now installed.
Homebrew Cask has a few basic commands that you’ll want to know.
For this, we’ll need to verify apps are available with Homebrew Cask.
So, we’ll search for each of them.
We’ll use that information to make a script using a text editor.
Open your text editor of choice (we like TextMate), and create a new script.
That will be followed by a list of installation commands.
Once it’s saved, we need to make it executable.
