FreeTDS and pyodbc on Mac OS X 10.8 via Homebrew

After spending many hours trying to get FreeTDS and unixodbc to run on a Mac OS X 10.8 system with the python module, pyodbc, I eventually came to this recipe, which is remarkably simple thanks to homebrew. I also found unixodbc was unnecessary and I couldn't get it to play well with FreeTDS, so this install does not include unixodbc. See also http://www.acloudtree.com/how-to-install-freetds-and-unixodbc-on-osx-using-homebrew-for-use-with-ruby-php-and-perl/ and http://www.cerebralmastication.com/2013/01/installing-debugging-odbc-on-mac-os-x/.

Prerequisites: Be sure you have XCode and the Commandline Tools for XCode installed from Apple. Also install homebrew followed with brew update and brew doctor.

Install FreeTDS:

brew install freetds

Test your install:

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.
