Installing and Configuring your Homebrew System

Installing Homebrew.

Homebrew doesn’t install gems and that, if you want them you should read this: Gems, Eggs and Perl Modules

Dealing With the Terror of Errors

Something just blow up? A formula not working correctly? We have a checklist that can help resolve most problems.

Contributing Formulae

To contribute a formula: fork, clone, create, audit, commit, push and then create a pull request (from a new branch, not master). Please read the Formula Cookbook before your first contribution or you’ll make us cry.

Remember! We don’t accept formulae into mxcl/master that dupes stuff already included with OS X. More details on that in the Formula Cookbook.

Extending Homebrew

Either fork, add features, commit, push and open a ticket or create a new external command.
