Lab 1 Setup: Mac OS

A. Setup

  1. Install Homebrew, a very easy to use package manager. To install, go to your Terminal and enter the following: 
     /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

    Note: During the process, you may be prompted to enter a password. When you enter your password, nothing will display on the terminal, but the computer is actually recording your password. This is a security measure. Just type your password and hit enter.

  2. Then, check to make sure brew is working properly on your system by typing: 
     brew doctor

    You may encounter warnings like this, but you should be fine. Proceed to the next step.

     brew cask install java
 brew install git
