Install Homebrew Cask

On Mac, Homebrew is the de-facto package manager, and Homebrew Cask is the app manager. I’m going to use Cask to install Java 7 and 8.

Install Homebrew Cask first if you haven’t:

How to setup PostgreSQL & Rails on Cloud9

At time of writing, Cloud9 has PostgreSQL pre-installed, so you won't need to install it yourself. However, its not running by default, so you will need to start it with this command in the terminal:

sudo service postgresql start

Change the PostgreSQL password to 'password' (or choose a different password):

	Homebrew always wants to install the latest version of the Formula (software). This is by design, because every time there is an update to a formula, it wants to be tested against all the other formulas that it depends on. Mixing new and old versions of software is a recipe for incompatibility disaster.

	But sometimes there are situations where you need an older version of software. In my specific case, Yarn was compiled against an older version of icu4c, and I want that older version instead of recompiling Yarn.
