homebrew

We start with the basics. If you work on MacOS, chances are you need homebrew. It's a package manager (almost like dnf in Fedora, or apt in Ubuntu). We can go a long way with the commands below:

sh
# Install the latest stable version of a formula or cask
brew install <formula>

# List all installed formulae and casks:
brew list

# Upgrade an installed formula or cask
brew upgrade <formula>

# Fetch the newest version of Homebrew and of all formulae and casks from the Homebrew source repository:
brew update

# Search for available formulae (i.e. packages) and casks (i.e. native macOS `.app` packages):
brew search <text>
