    I have an early 2011 MacOS with High Sierra 10.13.6. I am attempting to learn from The Odin Project. I have installed XCode and have an account. I went to this link: https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew to download TigerBrew, thinking my old computer would support it. I used this link as instructed: https://raw.github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/go/install

    I'm not a Mac user either, unfortunately, so I don't know how much help I can be with getting things set up. I found something called tigerbrew that might be relevant?

  • Install Ruby on Mac without Homebrew?

    pkgsrc also runs on other platforms, like NetBSD and illumos, so it has a better chance to work on old versions of macOS. Around 2018, I put pkgsrc on an old PowerPC Mac running the obsolete Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and built a few packages. (I didn't use Joyent's Intel packages, and I didn't know the PowerPC packages at http://sevan.mit.edu/. I also didn't know Tigerbrew.)

    I use Tigerbrew for this. It also supports 10.4 and 10.5. You'll also need a copy of XCode (I used version 2.5 on my Leopard install) to install pretty much anything.
