========
More descriptionless README tweaks It's nice that smaller READMEs are easier to get right.

Quick Install to /usr/local
---------------------------
Make it a sudo one-liner Rationale: if you want complete control then you will most likely not like the `sudo chown -R` step as it's nuts.

[This script][gist] will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
More readable way to run the install script Plus more reassuring preamble.
2010-06-15 11:51:34 +01:00
Use shorter setup gist url
2011-06-13 09:35:40 -07:00
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"
More readable way to run the install script Plus more reassuring preamble.

Afterwards, [install Xcode][xcode].
Better README copy Removed requirements. If they want to know this stuff then read the verbose instructions. Or just try to run brew, it'll complain.

Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
-------------------------------------------
Don't provide destructive instructions If /usr/local doesn't exist you've just sudo chowned $PWD
2010-03-14 19:11:14 +00:00
Indeed, you can. Refer to our [complete installation instructions][install].

Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and
[we recommend against that][sudo].

readme - how to find packages
2010-10-21 09:34:54 -07:00
But what packages are available?
--------------------------------
Before installing you can
[browse the Formula folder on GitHub][browse-formulae].
After installing, you can use `brew search` to find packages or `brew server`
to browse packages off of a local web server.
