#Sometimes they are installed by default in opt #(although this can be changed by an –option) /Volumes/Macintosh HD/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom
#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.

#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 using Terminal sudo vi /etc/paths
/usr/bin /usr/local/bin (add here after OS X 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

Are you sure you want to uninstall Homebrew? [y/N] y =⇒ Removing Homebrew installation… =⇒ Removing empty directories… =⇒ Homebrew uninstalled! The following possible Homebrew files were not deleted: /usr/local/.DS_Store /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/share/ You may consider to remove them by yourself. You may want to restore /usr/local's original permissions
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local sudo chgrp wheel /usr/local
——————————————-
#Permissions new on El Capitan, no editing /usr except custom below (allows everything) #The second command allows creating user/group permissions #The third restores root (I think)
sudo chmod -R +a “$USER allow delete,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit” . sudo chown -R root:wheel /usr/local sudo chmod -R -N /usr/local

brew tap Homebrew/homebrew-binary #etc., etc.
#To install their packages, look inside the Taps folder in /usr/local
brew install homebrew/homebrew-games/[name of package from step ^]
#Some are not strict directory paths, but are abbreviations (most likely through the bin somehow) brew install Caskroom/cask/[name of package from step ^]
