Homebrew supports the MacBook Pro M1 chip (Apple silicon) beginning with the release of Homebrew 3.0.0 in February 2021.
The script installs Homebrew to its preferred prefix /opt/homebrew for Apple
Silicon, which is not part of the default shell $PATH. You'll need to configure
your shell environment so Homebrew packages are found and take priority over
pre-installed tools.
Open your Terminal and run the commands below, and input your computer’s password when prompted:
chmod +x ./src/macOS/macOS-setup.sh && sh ./src/macOS/macOS-setup.shThe script will install the following softwares:
- Homebrew - The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux),
- The XCode Command Line Tool,
- The ‘locate’ Command - To track down files, file type, app, extension, etc.
You will need to add Homebrew to your PATH.
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/[your-user-name]/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"then restart your terminal.
Add Homebrew to your path, edit your .zshrc file and add the following at
the bottom.
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/sbin:$PATHHomebrew Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to the installation and management of GUI macOS applications such as Atom and Google Chrome.
Open your Terminal and run the commands below:
chmod +x ./src/homebrew/homebrew-casks.sh && sh ./src/homebrew/homebrew-casks.shCaskroom Fonts lets you manage fonts from the command line through Homebrew Cask.
Open your Terminal and run the commands below to install a few selected fonts:
chmod +x ./src/homebrew/homebrew-fonts.sh && sh ./src/homebrew/homebrew-fonts.shYou now have quick access to 1946 (at the time of writing) freely-distributable fonts. You can search, install, and uninstall them the same way you would any application through Homebrew Cask.
Homebrew Formulae is an online package browser for Homebrew – the macOS (and Linux) package manager.
Open your Terminal and run the commands below:
chmod +x ./src/homebrew/homebrew-formulae.sh && sh ./src/homebrew/homebrew-formulae.shQuick Look offers a fast, full-size preview of nearly any kind of file without opening the file. QuickLook plugins are invoked when we hit the SPACE bar in Finder to get a quick preview of the file, without opening it.
You can list your current plugins with the command qlmanage -m plugins.
Simply open Terminal on your computer and type the command listed below to install our curated list of Quick Look plugins for developers.
chmod +x ./src/homebrew/homebrew-qlplugins.sh && sh ./src/homebrew/homebrew-qlplugins.shThat’s it you’re done with Homebrew!
The macOS defaults tool works directly with the macOS preferences subsystem and is used by many apps in macOS to manage preferences and other settings.
