2. Open the terminal and copy / paste this command and hit RETURN. Go through the prompts (you will need to grant sudo access).

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

2. Validate installation by typing brew -v in the terminal and ensure a version number is shown.

You should regularly run brew update and brew doctor to make sure your packages are up to date and in good condition.
