Homebrew也称brew，macOS下基于命令行的最强大软件包管理工具，使用Ruby语言开发。类似于CentOS的yum或者Ubuntu的apt-get，brew能方便的管理软件的安装、更新、卸载，省去了手动编译或拖动安装的不便，更使得软件的管理更加集中化，解决了依赖包管理的烦恼。
资料
安装
Homebrew 依赖于Xcode Command Line Tools，所以需先执行：
xcode-select --install
在终端中执行：
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
检查是否已安装成功：
$ brew -v
Homebrew 1.6.1
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 0aeb7; last commit 2018-04-12)
基本用法
基于
brew安装的所有软件及其依赖均会安装到目录/usr/local/Cellar

Brew 帮助信息
$ brew help Example usage: brew search [TEXT|/REGEX/] brew info [FORMULA...] brew install FORMULA... brew update brew upgrade [FORMULA...] brew uninstall FORMULA... brew list [FORMULA...] Troubleshooting: brew config brew doctor brew install --verbose --debug FORMULA Contributing: brew create [URL [--no-fetch]] brew edit [FORMULA...] Further help: brew commands brew help [COMMAND] man brew https://docs.brew.sh -
子命令帮助信息
brew help [COMMAND]或brew [COMMAND] -h用于查看具体某个子命令的帮助信息。例如，查看
install命令的帮助详情：$ brew install -h brew install [--debug] [--env=(std|super)] [--ignore-dependencies|--only-dependencies] [--cc=compiler] [--build-from-source|--force-bottle] [--include-test] [--devel|--HEAD] [--keep-tmp] [--build-bottle] [--force] [--verbose] formula [options ...]: Install formula. formula is usually the name of the formula to install, but it can be specified in several different ways. See [SPECIFYING FORMULAE](#specifying-formulae). If --debug (or -d) is passed and brewing fails, open an interactive debugging session with access to IRB or a shell inside the temporary build directory. If --env=std is passed, use the standard build environment instead of superenv. If --env=super is passed, use superenv even if the formula specifies the standard build environment. If --ignore-dependencies is passed, skip installing any dependencies of any kind. If they are not already present, the formula will probably fail to install. If --only-dependencies is passed, install the dependencies with specified options but do not install the specified formula. If --cc=compiler is passed, attempt to compile using compiler. compiler should be the name of the compiler's executable, for instance gcc-4.2 for Apple's GCC 4.2, or gcc-4.9 for a Homebrew-provided GCC 4.9. If --build-from-source (or -s) is passed, compile the specified formula from source even if a bottle is provided. Dependencies will still be installed from bottles if they are available. If HOMEBREW_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE is set, regardless of whether --build-from-source was passed, then both formula and the dependencies installed as part of this process are built from source even if bottles are available. If --force-bottle is passed, install from a bottle if it exists for the current or newest version of macOS, even if it would not normally be used for installation. If --include-test is passed, install testing dependencies. These are only needed by formulae maintainers to run brew test. If --devel is passed, and formula defines it, install the development version. If --HEAD is passed, and formula defines it, install the HEAD version, aka master, trunk, unstable. If --keep-tmp is passed, the temporary files created during installation are not deleted. If --build-bottle is passed, prepare the formula for eventual bottling during installation. If --force (or -f) is passed, install without checking for previously installed keg-only or non-migrated versions If --verbose (or -v) is passed, print the verification and postinstall steps. Installation options specific to formula may be appended to the command, and can be listed with brew options formula. brew install --interactive [--git] formula: If --interactive (or -i) is passed, download and patch formula, then open a shell. This allows the user to run ./configure --help and otherwise determine how to turn the software package into a Homebrew formula. If --git (or -g) is passed, Homebrew will create a Git repository, useful for creating patches to the software. -
搜索软件
brew search [TEXT|/REGEX/]用于搜索软件，支持使用正则表达式进行复杂的搜索。例如，查询静态博客生成工具
hugo：$ brew search hugo ==> Searching local taps... hugo ✔ ==> Searching taps on GitHub... ==> Searching blacklisted, migrated and deleted formulae... -
查看软件信息
brew info [FORMULA...]用于查询软件的详细信息。例如，查看软件
hugo的详细信息：$ brew info hugo hugo: stable 0.38.2 (bottled), HEAD Configurable static site generator https://gohugo.io/ /usr/local/Cellar/hugo/0.38.2 (32 files, 28.0MB) * Poured from bottle on 2018-04-19 at 10:11:29 From: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/homebrew/homebrew-core.git/Formula/hugo.rb ==> Dependencies Build: dep ✔, go ✔ ==> Options --HEAD Install HEAD version ==> Caveats Bash completion has been installed to: /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d以上查询所得信息，包含了软件的最新可用版本，本机是否已安装，本机已安装的版本，安装的路径、大小、时间、Tap 源，所依赖的包，以及安装的可选项等详细信息。而这些信息可以帮助我们很方便快捷的了解如何对该软件进行相应的操作。

安装软件包
brew install FORMULA...用于安装一个或多个软件。例如，安装软件
hugo：$ brew install hugo安装软件命令执行之前，brew 一般会先检查更新 Homebrew 自身及 Tap 源。

更新软件包
brew upgrade [FORMULA...]用于更新一个或多个软件，不指定软件名则更新所有软件。 -
卸载软件包
brew uninstall FORMULA...用于卸载指定的一个或多个软件brew uninstall --force FORMULA...彻底卸载指定软件，包括旧版本 -

服务管理
brew services用于方便的管理 brew 安装的软件软件，类似于 Linux 下的 service 命令。查看
brew services帮助信息：$ brew services brew services command: Integrates Homebrew formulae with macOS' launchctl manager. [sudo] brew services list List all running services for the current user (or root) [sudo] brew services run formula|--all Run the service formula without starting at login (or boot).
