Homebrew overview
Homebrew is a command line utility designed to streamline the installation of various libraries and utilities that you might need to run certain applications, but have not been included in your macOS installation by default.
The both application provides you with access to a large collection of packages which you can browse using the command line, or by making use of online resources such as the Braumeister website.
Effortless to install macOS package manager that runs in the Terminal
To deploy Homebrew on your Mac, you can manually download the source code archive and install wherever you like, or you can run the command provided by the development team in Terminal window (will place Homebrew in the /usr/local folder):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
What’s new in version 4.5.6
This release contains preliminary macOS 26 Tahoe support. When using macOS 26 betas, remember that:
- You must also update Xcode and the CLT to 26.0 beta
- brew install will default to Sequoia bottles until closer to release, so formulae like pkg-config, gcc and llvm will use the macOS 15 SDK when installed from a bottle and may not work correctly
- Formulae built from source may or may not work depending on whether upstreams support macOS/Xcode 26 yet
