    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • In terms of package management you natively only have the App Store and manually installing apps from the internet, which is rather limiting, especially for command line utilities. I would suggest looking into a third party package management system if you find yourself using a lot of third party apps frequently. I personally use nix along with home manager; there's also homebrew and macports
