Question

I\'m trying to install Homebrew on OS X.

According to the Homebrew site I should type

brew install wget

and all I get is

Answer 1

It's on the top of the Homebrew homepage.

From a Terminal prompt:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

The command brew install wget is an example of how to use Homebrew to install another application (in this case, wget) after brew is already installed.

Above command to install the Brew is migrated to:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
