sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local

# Install Homebrew - follow instructions given by script

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

# Run the doctor

brew doctor

# You'll see a message about agreeing to the Xcode license. Probably good advice, type the advised command and space bar throught he two licenses

xcodebuild -license

# Should also see a message about installing "Command Line Tools for Xcode" as an alternative to experimental support for using Xcode without the "Command Line Tools" - seems logical not to risk using experimental software

# On https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action (you'll need a free account to login) search for latest "Command Line Tools (OS X Mountain Lion) for Xcode

# Download and install following any instructions given by the installer
# Check gcc is now installed

gcc --version

# You should see some information about the gcc version installed now rather than 'command not found'

brew doctor

# This should return 'Your system is raring to brew'
