One comment on homebrew - don’t choose your own location, but always take the default. Some packages do not treat the deviation well, but will not tell you, and will, e.g. always build from source and disregard things that are already there, so you’ll see gcc and openssl built from source every time, which will only heat up your laptop and is not very useful, especially when the package build fails anyway.
And always have a large scroll back buffer, because indeed homebrew is very talkative, but you need to go over it in detail after an install, yo make sure you can find includes or link to libraries later. I still prefer it over MacPorts. Best regards, René. > On 31 Jan 2022, at 12:48, Rony G.
