macOS Migration Notes

After over a decade on Linux (and a bit of Windows).

Homebrew

Firstly... there's no default package manager like apt! But there is Homebrew, which is kind of a drop-in replacement for apt. Well, it behaves similarly.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew update
