Instructions for Mac OS X

All of the installations on the Mac rely on Homebrew.

1. install homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

You may be asked to install the Xcode developer tools at some point in the installation, make sure you install them and try to run Xcode in the GUI if possible afterward.

2. tap dupes (essentially register a repo)

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

If you need to unsinstall Homebrew

uninstall homebrew

cd `brew --prefix`
rm -rf Cellar
brew prune
rm -rf Library .git .gitignore bin/brew README.md share/man/man1/brew
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
