Installing Homebrew on macOS

bash, homebrew, installation, macos

Solution

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)"

Problem

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 macOS?
