According to the Homebrew site, to install it, I need to type:
brew install wget
I get an error message:
-bash: brew: command not found
Found this answer. The problem, however, is I don't see brew
in /usr/local/bin
.
I added the below line to my .bashrc
file
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Still getting the command not found
error.
How do I install Homebrew on OS X?
On Mac Intel, Homebrew installs itself into the /usr/local/bin directory, which is already configured for access by the shell with the macOS default $PATH environment variable (the default is set by the /usr/libexec/path_helper command).
Manage your command-line utilities with brewHomebrew boasts that it "installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn't" install by default. Installation happens with the brew command, which gives us access to thousands of command-line utilities, but not more complex applications.
Homebrew installation takes 2 to 15 minutes.
It's on the top of the Homebrew homepage.
From a Terminal prompt:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
The command brew install wget
is an example of how to use Homebrew to install another application (in this case, wget
) after brew is already installed.
Historic...
Before about 2020, the command given on the Homebrew page was:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
If you are using m1 chip mac then run below command after installing homebrew and open the terminal again:
echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc
