Homebrew (or just brew) is a proper package manager for macOS that allows you to obtain open source software from GitHub and compile it (if necessary) to run on macOS with simple commands. For example, brew install neofetch will install neofetch, while brew install nvim will install neovim. You can also use brew to remove software or restart services that were installed via brew.
Most open source software that you’ll need for Linux administration or development can be installed using brew if there isn’t a pre-compiled app available from the software’s website or App Store. Moreover, if you work as a cybersecurity professional, there are hundreds of open source security tools that you may need to install using brew, depending on your needs.
To install brew, go to https://brew.sh and copy the command shown into a terminal window. This will first download the Xcode command line tools (approx. 2.5GB) before installing the brew system files.
