Using
=====

There are two ways to install packages from this repository.

*Using Raw URLs*

First you need to get your hands on the raw URL. For example, `https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/raw/master/non-free/princexml.rb` is the raw url for the princexml formula.

Then just pass that URL as a parameter to the `brew install` command, like so.

`brew install https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/raw/master/non-free/princexml.rb`

*Cloning the Repository*

Clone the repository to somewhere that you'll remember. This example creates a `LibraryAlt` directory under `/usr/local`.

`git clone https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt.git /usr/local/LibraryAlt`

Then to install a formula pass the full path to the formula into the `brew install` command. Here's another example that installs princexml.

`brew install /usr/local/LibraryAlt/non-free/princexml.rb`
