  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    • So your best choice is just installing Linux packages on Mac. macOS is pure blood UNIX so chances are these packages can be easily ported. The easiest way to do so is installing HomeBrew package manager. Be warned that Docker can not run natively on Mac, so you need virtualization. But if you have installed Docker Desktop, it already have VirtualBox embedded so you don't need install it separately.
