Package Manager for macOS: How to install Homebrew on macOS

Package Manager

A package manager or package-management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer’s operating system in a consistent manner. Homebrew is the preferred package manager for macOS and the installation is pretty straight forward. How to add a new partition to an existing Linux server, How to setup and configure a lamp stack, ESXI 6.7 ALARM: Seat disk exhaustion on 10, how to setup up WatchGuard Log and Report Server in a VM, how to encrypt a partition with Cryptsetup on Linux and how to disable RC4 Cipher Algorithms support in SSH Server.

Homebrew is package manager for Macs which makes installing lots of different software like Git, Ruby, and Node simpler etc. Homebrew keeps its standard commands simple and installs only single-file applications through its default brew command-line interface.
