For organic chemists,\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong> is very useful software, although it is not as essential as\u00a0<\/span>MS Office<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>ChemDraw<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>\u00a0is a package management system for Mac. Herein, I would like to explain how to build an environment on a Mac using Homebrew.<\/span><\/p>\n Homebrew<\/strong>\u00a0is installed from\u00a0<\/span>Terminal<\/strong>\u00a0with commands.\u00a0<\/span>Terminal<\/strong>\u00a0can be found in Launchpad.<\/span><\/p>\n Below is the\u00a0<\/span>Terminal<\/strong>\u00a0screen. Type a command here to install\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n First,\u00a0<\/span>before installing\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>command line tools<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>should be installed.<\/span>\u00a0Open\u00a0<\/span>Terminal<\/strong>\u00a0and type the following command ($ is not included).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The command to install\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>\u00a0changes occasionally, so check the Homebrew site (<\/span>https:\/\/brew.sh\/<\/a>) and enter it in the terminal (as of July 1st, 2022, the following command is available. $ is not included). Enter your login password if required.<\/span><\/p>\n The installation will take a while. After installation, you will be prompted to add the path to Homebrew<\/strong>. (On an Intel Mac, Homebrew is installed in \/usr\/local\/<\/strong>, but on an M1 Mac, it is installed in \/opt\/homebrew\/<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n Once the path is specified, restart the Terminal<\/strong> once and execute the following command in the Terminal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you run it and there is no error, you have succeeded. It\u2019s a kind of strict check, so even if an error appears, it often works without any problem.<\/p>\n It is better to run \u201cbrew update<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cbrew upgrade<\/strong>\u201d occasionally.<\/p>\n You can easily install iTerm2 by using the brew cask command.<\/p>\n After the installation, commands are entered from iTerm2<\/strong>, not from Terminal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can change the default color scheme of iTerm2 as you like. Change it from Color Presets in [Preferences]-[Profiles]-[Colors]. My setting is\u00a0<\/span>Pastel<\/strong>\u00a0as you can see below.<\/span><\/p>\n Enter the following commands into\u00a0<\/span>iTerm2<\/strong>\u00a0to install the gcc and other major programs.<\/span><\/p>\n You can configure zsh by creating a .zshrc<\/strong> file in your home folder (\/Users\/<username>\/<\/strong>). Add the following to your .zshrc<\/strong><\/p>\n With brew cask, you can easily install\u00a0<\/span>Dropbox<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Evernote<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Google Chrome<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Skicth<\/strong>, etc. from the command line. You do not need to download each package at all.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also install VSCode, a cool text editor, with brew cask.<\/span><\/p>\n If\u00a0<\/span>XQuartz<\/strong>\u00a0is not installed, some applications such as\u00a0<\/span>Mercury<\/strong> and Platon<\/strong>\u00a0will not work. It is better to be installed on your Mac. You can easily install it with brew cask command.<\/span><\/p>\n The following software cannot be installed by\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>, so you need to install them manually.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s make an environment for chemistry on M1 Mac A method is described to build a chemical environment on M1 Mac using Homebrew, a convenient package management system.

\niTerm2<\/strong>\u00a0is a widely used terminal for Mac. It is more powerful than the standard terminal.\u00a0<\/span>Homebrew<\/strong>\u00a0can be used from\u00a0<\/span>iTerm2<\/strong>\u00a0(also from the standard terminal). It is useful to run Gaussian, python, etc. on a Mac and to connect to remote servers.<\/span>
