Overview

Install Doctor is a web service that makes it easy to install your favorite software. It is a service maintained by Megabyte Labs and is used as a front-end for anything that involves installing and provisioning systems. This repository is just one small part of Install Doctor. It is the Homebrew tap for users who wish to use Homebrew to install the software we support.

Requirements

In order to leverage the software that this Homebrew tap provides, you first need to install Homebrew on your system. It is available on macOS, Linux, and you can install it on Windows with WSL. After you have Homebrew installed, you must then add our tap to install the software that is housed in this repository. You can install the tap by running:

brew tap installdoc/tap

Example Install

After the tap is installed, you can install software by specifying its short name. For instance, if you wanted to install Bodega then you would run:

brew install bodega

Package Listing

This repository houses multiple types of packages that are installable with Homebrew. Each type, along with a brief description, is listed below.

Binary

This type of installation relies on installing a binary file that was compiled in our CI/CD pipeline.

Sponsorship

Dear Awesome Person,

I create open source projects out of love. Although I have a job, shelter, and as much fast food as I can handle, it would still be pretty cool to be appreciated by the community for something I have spent a lot of time and money on. Please consider sponsoring me! Who knows? Maybe I will be able to quit my job and publish open source full time.

Sincerely,

Brian Zalewski
