[$] Pouring packages with Homebrew

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:40:55 +0000

Description:
The Homebrew project is an
open-source package-management system that comes with a repository of
useful packages for Linux and macOS. Even though Linux distributions
have their own package management and repositories, Homebrew is often
used to obtain software that is not available in a distribution's repository
or to install more current versions of projects than are available
from long-term-support (LTS) distributions. Homebrew 5.0.0 ,
released on November 12, 2025, expanded Linux support to include
64-bit Arm packages in addition to x86_64, and turned on concurrent
downloads by default to speed up package downloads.
