er …Different VERSIONS of Node… nice, a VERSION manager, as opposed to a PACKAGE one. SO that is XCODE command line tools, NVM… So, this looks like a good summary and way to go, with the potential to shrivel up my hard drive like a sun dry tomato! Medium – 9 Feb 18 Setting up a Mac

So… ANOTHER package manager… to replace… NPM…Node, Javascript package manager… as its supposed to be better/safer, which is installed with …HOMEBREW… er…package man…ager. SO, HomeBrew… a package manager… to install NODE… a JS … package manager…Īnd now to look at YARN… and I know I’m NOT supposed to install both MacPorts and HomeBrew. Ive been on this fence for a couple of years, so of course, have done nothing. This… is why Ive never installed, yes,… option 4… thanks …Īnd it is tempting, its just that with HomeBrew, I hear all this stuff about installing packages to do stuff build tools… GULP… SASS (like you just mention) …minification, image resizing etc etc.Įven though PG does the SASS thing itself. Ha! no duplication, buuut Could then nuke those very same system apps that I rely on for other things) I guess Homebrew next (but I then end up with multiple installations of already present system resources)įinally Macports (which USES my existing system resources…available apps. The easist option to just do it, would be the stand alone installer. SO I’m off and will be back later to have a look and see who advises what? Its now Horsey O’ clock on Planet *frozen Wales (now with added rain) So in order to play with this fine new plugin by, Ive to do this.īUT… not sure about using the actual node installer as it uses SUDO for quite a bit of the install… Where as Macports uses my system versions… Homebrew looks like the new kid on the block compared to Macports (which has far more stuff)Īnd I’m aware that Brew, REPLICATES and adds stuff that are already on my mac, but keeps them seperate and different versions (ie, SQL, Apache etc) Or Macports… I mean, I dont even know which of these…
