When we develop a production software(like, eCommerce website, or an SaaS) it's never just one programming language that satisfies all the requirements, and we end up using various libraries and software packages, which we must install on our server for the software to run. For example, if you develop a web application in Java using Jax-RS API like: Jersey, RESTeasy etc for REST services, then to run this software you must install Java and the other libraries/APIs used on the server. Also during development, you will have to install these packages in your local computer too.
Homebrew is a software package manager for Mac OS which can be used to install required packages, libraries etc to setup your local development requirements.
These might come with a pre-OS X version of Mac OS (Mac OS 7, 8, or 9). Some of the first PowerBook G3 laptops didn't even include USB, although this is easily fixed with a Cardbus expansion card. I found one on eBay for $10 in the original packaging, with the driver CDs. For an even better bargain, you can buy a 'spares or repair' Mac. So, you have Night Shift.But sometimes, there's nothing like dark mode to lessen the strain on your eyes.However, enabling dark mode in Safari is easier said than done. The browser does sport the.
Mac's version is a bit more systemwide, with some older Windows dialogs still not darkened. The Windows 10 May 2019 Update adds a Custom option, which lets you decide whether you want dark. Lipstick: the iconic product that made MAC famous. Shade, define, and accentuate the lips with hundreds of hues in high-fashion textures.
Another example, if you decide to learn Python, how will you do that? You will use online tutorials to learn the basics of the language and then practice by creating small programs/scripts in python. Now to run/execute these scripts you will have to install python in your local computer, again, how will you do that? If you are a mac user, you can use Homebrew.

What happens Behind the Scene?
Whenever we install a new software package or tool, it should be installed in the /usr/local directory, as this is the directory where user specific software packages are installed. Homebrew installs the packages inside this directory, or at times, it installs the packages in their own directory and then symlinks(create soft link) their files into /usr/local/ directory
Belwo we have a step by step guide to install Homebrew on your computer/laptop
