README

Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.

• Install Homebrew
• Frequently Asked Questions
• Tips and Tricks
• Gems, Eggs and Perl Modules
• Homebrew and Python

Please note: Homebrew generally works well, but when it doesn’t we’d hope you report the bug.

Troubleshooting

First, please run brew update (twice) and brew doctor.

Second, please read the Troubleshooting Checklist.

If you don’t follow these steps it will take us far longer to help you with your problem.

However! Fixing build issues is easier than you think: try brew edit $FORMULA and see how you fare.
