For whatever reason, my place of work distrust installations via CLI.
Is there a GUI installation that can be installed that would keep the IT department happy?
Thanks in advance.
There’s Cakebrew, a GUI wrapper around Homebrew; but it doesn’t install Homebrew for you for now:
It is important to note that Cakebrew doesn't install Homebrew for you. To install Homebrew, please visit their website.
Installing Homebrew though Cakebrew is currently in the To-Do List =)
There’s no way to install Homebrew via GUI.

I will share an example.
I had to install mysql connector c++ libraries for my project.
To install connector c++ on my Mac, i had to build it from the source code and it takes a lot of effort because you get errors sometimes and then it is troublesome, something which should have been done in a short time.
In case of Ubuntu, I just had to write one command in the terminal, and wow, everything just got done automatically.
apt-get install libmysqlcppconn7
Does anybody know any similar command in mac, using brew or macports?
I tried to find but I guess I didn't get any results to satisfaction.
And if there is not, can anyone guide me so that I can make it possible, like I think it's possible for mac, if it is possible in ubuntu.
Please guide me, an answer in a bit detail would be so much appreciated.
Probably the nearest thing to apt-get on a mac is brew
Once it is set up (and this isn't difficult) "brew install mysql-connector-c++" will install on the mac
I have never written any bash scripts at this point and my understanding of them is still pretty green. I was curious after reformatting my Mac if it is possible to write a script that does the majority of installs in an automated fashion?
For instance I use homebrew so maybe a portion of the script could verify if this is on the Mac and if not then initiate the install. Then it could proceed with the list of brew install & brew cask installs.
This is something that after realizing how much I had installed and had to remember and still am remembering to install I think would be pretty cool to make...I just don't know if a) it's possible with the macOS or how-to (I'll read up on the how-to). I'm not even too sure if bash-scripts would be the thing to use for something like this or not. Thanks in advance for any information!
on an RPM based system I would eventually list the packages installed, backup the list and then chain it in a yum install command.
For instance:
yum list installed
A
B
C
then to reinstall
yum install A B C -y
Extremely easy and straight forward.
I do believe you can do the same with brew:
brew list
brew install based on the list
I hope this helps
I'm something of a Cygwin newbie, so that might be the problem, but I'm trying to install a package using apt-get and it's telling me there's no such command. I installed it on Windows 7.
The best I got from searching other questions here and across the net was that you need to install something specific (or run the setup file to update) when initially installing, but it's not clear to me what I need to install or run or whatever.
How do I install or update my cygwin to be able to use apt-get or, alternatively, how would I install packages with the basic, default installation of Cygwin that I already have?
Thank you.
You can use this : apt-cyg
It works just like apt-get in terms of command line arguments, but you will be using apt-cyg instead.
Refer https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg It did helped me.
To install apt-cyg package.
Cygwin's official installer is setup.exe. This is the "proper" way to install Cygwin packages. There's a project called cyg-apt but it's not officially part of Cygwin.
I dont' know why I cannot install ruby through yum in my RHEL6.2
How can I fix it. I don't wanna install through source. Any idea?
[root#kithost ~]# yum install ruby
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Setting up Install Process
No package ruby available.
Error: Nothing to do
RVM is a solution but it is not that I want.
What I want to know is that once we can't find any package from yum, what kind of thing should we fix into order to let yum find it?
Probably the best way to install and manage Ruby is using RVM. Moreover, you can use more than one ruby versions using RVM. I can bet, it's really something you may love it. Yum is sometime a curse :-).
Follow their installation guide as there are different methods of (with pros and cons) installations and choose your preferred one. I'm pretty sure, you will love it too.
However, if you are still thinking to use it, you may follow this Guide. Be aware, I don't not know whether it works or not as I did not try it. Why should I try something else, when I'm already using BEST one :)!
Redhat does not have a free repo list unless you pay, or make subscription to them.
The reason for that I cannot install ruby is that there is no availalbe repo list
check
/etc/repo.list
you can copy the one from CentOS to Redhat.
Then your yum could search a available repo server and make your ruby downloadable.
RVM is a good solution but I found that rbenv was much better including when you have to use Ruby on a server.
You can find how to install rbenv in the README.
I've been searching for about an hour, but could not find any installer for this version...
I have been using Homebrew for OSX, and have been really happy with it. After you install it, you can
$ brew install postgresql
and get a clean installation of postgres. However, it doesn't install any gui tools, just psql.

EDIT:
Apologies, I think the brew formula is building 8.4.3 right now, but it shouldn't be too hard to edit it to use the version you require...
EDIT #2:
You might be able to find the version you want here:
