this fork of homebrew will focus on tools and software used in nlp and computational linguistics. if yr looking for plain vanilla package management for the mac, stick with the source, otherwise this will pollute yr kompooter with large datasets and very buggy code.
Features and usage are summarized on the homepage.
This script will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"
Afterwards, install Xcode.
Indeed, you can. Refer to our complete installation instructions.
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and we recommend against that.
curl -LsSf https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo /usr/bin/tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
Before installing you can browse the Formula folder on GitHub.
After installing, you can use brew search to find packages or brew server
to browse packages off of a local web server.
The wiki is your friend.
