HomeBrew VS nvm

For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.

A package manager simplifies the process of installing, updating, and removing software packages on a computer. Homebrew is a package manager designed specifically for macOS. To install HomeBrew run the command:

https://brew.sh/ missing package manager for MacOS

If you are using Mac, you can install FFmpeg with Homebrew:

Now, I do have free time and desire to learn how to customize and personalize my shell. I did some googling on how to set up zsh but found plenty of different takes, paths, recommended software, and whatnot (for example, (don't)re-install zsh using homebrew, (don't)use warp, (don't)install Oh My ZSH, and so on).

To fix this, you’d need to install Ruby correctly using a version manager such as chruby. You’d need to install Homebrew on your Mac first using the command below in your terminal:

There are a number of ways that you can install the Snyk CLI on your machine, ranging from using the available stand-alone executables to using package managers such as Homebrew for macOS and Scoop for Windows.

I'm using MacOS, so I'll be using Homebrew to install the GitHub CLI. If you're using Windows or Linux, you can find instructions for installing the GitHub CLI here.

The most popular third-party package manager for macOS is Homebrew. The latest version of curl on Homebrew is 8.3.0, released mid-September.

While you can install it in many ways, the easiest is using a package manager like Homebrew for macOS or chocolatey for Windows.

in order to install Node on your Linux environment. Next up is NVM. I suggest going to https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm and getting the latest install script from there. The current download is:

You can find the script to install nvm on their GitHub repository.

For those who don´t know, NVM is a great tool that is going to help you to switch between node versions smoothly, this tool is beneficial especially when you work with many projects and maybe one or two will require you to use a specific version.

To use TypeScript you need Node.js installed, be sure to use the latest LTS version. You can check it by running node -v in your terminal. If you don't have it installed, you can download it here, or use a version manager like asdf, nvm, or even volta.

use n or nvm to manage installed node/npm versions.

Ah good to know, thank you! Meanwhile I found it, it was the awk from Debian 10 that lacked `length(array)`, see the related nvm pr [1].

Awk is really great, for those knowing nvm [1], I used awk to make `nvm ls-remote` run more than 10 times faster [2] by replacing the related shell script with around 60 lines of awk script [3], and I was quite happy with the improvement.

It's not really a one-liner, neither something big, but one can take that as an example regarding that awk is really not just for one-liners.

Meanwhile having `--csv` support is really nice. I'd also like to see things like a builtin `length` function to be standard.

If Node.js is not installed, please follow the official guide to install it or use Node version manager.

You can use nvm and nvm for Windows to switch version of Node and NPM on the fly.
