\nHomebrew<\/strong> is a package management system used from a terminal (software to type commands). You can easily install various UNIX-based softwares by Homebrew<\/strong><\/span>.

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

<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBuilding an Environment with Homebrew<\/h2>\n
Installation of Homebrew<\/h3>\n
Homebrew<\/strong> is installed from Terminal<\/strong> with commands. Terminal<\/strong> can be found in Launchpad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nBelow is the Terminal<\/strong> screen. Type a command here to install Homebrew<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nFirst, before installing Homebrew<\/strong>, command line tools<\/strong> should be installed.<\/span> Open terminal<\/strong> and type the following command ($ is not included). (Added on April 7, 2021)<\/p>\n
\n$ xcode-select --install<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nThe command to install Homebrew<\/strong> changes occasionally, so check the Homebrew site (https:\/\/brew.sh\/<\/a>) and enter it in the terminal (as of May 24, 2020, the following command is available. $ is not included). Enter your login password if required.<\/p>\n
\n$ \/usr\/bin\/ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Homebrew\/install\/master\/install)\"<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nIt takes a while to install Homebrew<\/strong>. After the installation, run the following commands in the terminal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew doctor<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nIf you run it and there is no error, you have succeeded. It’s a kind of strict check, so even if an error appears, it often works without a problem.<\/p>\n
How to Use Homebrew<\/h4>\n
\n$ brew update #update Homebrew\r\n$ brew upgrade #upgrade applications installed by Homebrew\r\n$ brew install hogehoge #command to install hogehoge<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nIt is better to run “brew update<\/strong>” and “brew upgrade<\/strong>” occasionally.<\/p>\n
Installation of iTerm2<\/h3>\n
You can easily install iTerm2<\/strong> by using the brew cask<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew install --cask iterm2<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nAfter the installation, commands are entered from iTerm2<\/strong>, not from the terminal.<\/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 Pastel<\/strong> as you can see below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nInstallation of zsh and etc.<\/h3>\n
Enter the following commands into iTerm2<\/strong> to install the major programs.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew install vim zsh coreutils wget gcc openssl<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nThe latest version of vim, zsh, etc. will be installed.<\/p>\n
(For Macs before Mojave) Open iTerm2<\/strong> and select [iTerm2]-[Preferences]-[Profiles]-[General], and choose Command<\/strong> from the pull-down list, and type zsh to the right of it. For Catalina, zsh is the default shell, so this operation is not necessary.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mitsudo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/command-1.png\")
<\/p>\nSettings for zsh<\/h3>\n
You can configure zsh by creating a .zshrc<\/strong> file in your home folder (\/Users\/<username>\/). Add the following to your .zshrc<\/p>\n
\n#\u3000Aliases\r\nalias vi=vim\r\n\r\n# path\r\nexport PATH=\/usr\/local\/bin:\/usr\/local\/sbin:\/usr\/sbin:\/sbin:$PATH<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nInstallation of Dropbox, Evernote, Google Chrome, Skitch by brew cask<\/h3>\n
With brew cask, you can easily install Dropbox<\/strong>, Evernote<\/strong>, Google Chrome<\/strong>, Skicth<\/strong>, etc. from the command line. You do not need to download each package at all.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew install --cask dropbox evernote google-chrome skitch<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nInstallation of VSCode by brew cask<\/h3>\n
You can also install VSCode, a cool text editor, with brew cask.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew install --cask visual-studio-code<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nInstallation of XQuartz<\/h3>\n
If XQuartz<\/strong> is not installed, some applications such as Mercury<\/strong> will not start. It is better to be installed in your Mac. You can easily install it with brew cask command.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew install --cask xquartz<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nInstallation of FileZilla<\/h3>\n
FileZilla<\/strong>, which is used for FTP connections to remote servers, can also be easily installed with Homebrew<\/strong>.<\/del><\/p>\nNow, Filezilla<\/strong> cannot be installed by Homebrew<\/strong>. Filezilla<\/strong> should be download from the download site<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n$ brew cask install filezilla<\/code><\/del><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nInstallation of Other Softwares<\/h2>\n
The following softwares cannot be installed by Homebrew<\/strong>, so you need to install them manually.<\/p>\n
