Installing Homebrew on Yosemite

One of the downsides of playing with beta software is that your stuff breaks. For OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), Homebrew was one of those things.

Here’s how I fixed it:

1. Nuke the previous one.

   rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar

2. Install the new one.

   ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/
   homebrew/go/install)”

3. Run Brew Doctor.

   brew doctor

4. Clean up any issues.
5. Install your software.

Now you’ll be running with Ruby 2.x (default in Yosemite) as well as the latest Homebrew.
