Package Managers

Homebrew

Homebrew is one of the most popular package managers on macOS which helps installing, managing and safely uninstalling different software such as git, node, cmake, etc right from your terminal with a one-liner. It also manages installing different versions of these software.

Installation

  • As prerequisite, brew requires Xcode installed on your machine. You can install it from the App Store.
  • Next, open up your terminal and paste the following command and follow the instructions. 
    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Terminal

iTerm2

Download from https://iterm2.com/downloads.html or install with Homebrew

brew install --cask iterm2

Shell

Oh My ZSH

Oh My Zsh is an open-source framework for managing zsh configurations, plugins and themes. Out of the box, it provides additional information that a barebone zsh would not provide within your terminal to boost your productivity such as:

  • Current git branch
  • Git status
  • Current working directory
  • etc

Installation

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Installing Oh My Zsh will take over the configuration file and makes the bare minimum changes to make Oh My Zsh functional, and for your to start customizing your shell preferences to your needs.

Configuration File: ~/.zshrc
