Installing/Uninstalling Homebrew on Mac OS - CarlZeng

Background

Introduction: https://brew.sh/index_zh-cn

Manager for missing software packages on macOS (or Linux)

What can Homebrew do? Use Homebrew to install things Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t provide but you need.

Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /opt/homebrew. Homebrew will not install files outside its prefix, so you can install it wherever you like.

Homebrew is a tool that keeps macOS (or your Linux system) software more organized. Use gem to install RubyGems, and brew to install the things that depend on them.

“Drink up” to Homebrew, that is - never touch “ /Applications “ again. Use Homebrew Cask to install command-line or desktop apps.
