Installing pkgx (Successor to Homebrew)

Raw

no-mo-homebrew.md

You don't really need Homebrew

pkgx is a package manager that can basically do everything Homebrew can.

You can find full installation instructions here, but it's simplest to run:

curl -fsS https://pkgx.sh | sh

Congrats, you can now run literally almost any open-source package with one small exception for Golang. For that, you'll actually need Homebrew.

# The official Homebrew uninstall method
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

# Remove any lingering traces
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew 

# Just install Go
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install -v go
