#Install from Casks

#There is debate, mostly from MacPorts & Fink people #about where to put package Managers:
#Homebrew will cause problems when building software from source if it is installed in /usr/local.
#This is the default, which is a bad choice as this path is in the default search path of compilers and other tools.
#Therefore builds from other packaging software might pick up the wrong dependency, using Homebrew's version instead of their own.
#Years ago, in the very beginning of the project, even MacPorts was using /usr/local.
#But it turned out not to cooperate with other tools as is documented in their FAQ.
#Unfortunately Homebrew developers didn't want to hear about prior experiences and ignored such facts… #In general, it is usually better to stick to one tool only to avoid all problems. #MacPorts is doing their best to patch out any harcoded paths, e.g. to /sw which is used by Fink. #So usually it will work, but having anything installed in /usr/local will definitely cause problems for it.

#MacPorts addresses this too: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#defaultprefix
#Braumeister has a search engine of Homebrew packages
#Common Packages (Will be adding more, this is by no means #exhaustive of what I have used in past).
#Install GNU Essentials
brew install coreutils
#Add to PATH with TextWrangler or:
sudo open /etc/paths sudo nano /etc/paths
#Add the next line after /usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
#Add to PATH with vi text editor or nano using Terminal
sudo vi /etc/paths sudo nano /etc/paths
#Path Looks Like This, but bear in mind Homebrew prefers the local bin first
/usr/bin /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin
#Homebrew offers the following instructions about coreutils
#All commands have been installed with the prefix 'g'.
#If you really need to use these commands with their normal name can #add a “gnubin” directory to your PATH from your bashrc like
PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
#Additionally, you can access their man pages with normal names the #“gnuman” directory to your MANPATH from your bashrc as well
MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
#You can also use Text Wrangler to add the GNU commands to Man Pages (or use vi)
/etc/man.conf
#add the following in the Set up PATH to MANPATH mapping section
MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman
#More GNU commands, but duplicate ones

#To add shell scripts to Terminal command, open bash.rc, and add this to the fields (first create a directory for your scripts):

#Then, restart Terminal by:

#Then add a line to the scripts folder:
