Homebew is convenient package manager for the OS X. Once you install Homebrew on your Mac, you can then easily intall and uninstall tools, libraries, and applications through the brew command. The brew command accepts an install and unistall option, as well as list option that prints all currently installed applications.

You can install an application through a brew formula. There is a plathora of homebrew formulae.

The following homebrew formulae are the ones that I’ve found most useful as a software developer.
