Install Homebrew on Mac OS

The version of Mac OS I’m working with here is 12.6.6 Monterey

Open a terminal and paste in the following:

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

You will be told what Homebrew is going to do and to confirm or abort. Go ahead and Confirm.

You will see a lot of stuff scroll past but in the end you should have Homebrew installed.

Confirm with this:

% brew help

You should see the help screen for Homebrew.

Now you can install packages. I’m in the need of telnet to test network connections so I install like this:

% brew install telnet
