Homebrew
Homebrew is "the missing package manager for macOS". It is designed for installing UNIX tools and other open-source applications. It will quickly download and install them, compiling them from source. Homebrew can install stuff like:
vimffmpegpython
Homebrew Cask
Homebrew Cask extends Homebrew with support for installing binary apps — the kind you normally drag to your Applications folder from DMG files. For example:
- 3D Slicer
- Google Chrome
Homebrew Versions
Homebrew Versions lets you install alternate versions of the apps from Homebrew Cask. For example:
- 3D Slicer Nightly
- Google Chrome Canary
Steps to update Slicer cask (for maintainers)
Adding an SSH key to GitHub and the KeyChain might be needed.
Setup
# Install homebrew /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" # Install cask-repair brew install vitorgalvao/tiny-scripts/cask-repair
Update
This automatically creates a pull request in homebrew-versions to update the slicer-nightly cask (a Ruby script) with the new version.
cask-repair --cask-version 4.7.0.26273,676538 --fail-on-error --blind-submit slicer-nightly
Steps to upgrade Slicer app (for users)
Setup
# Install homebrew + homebrew-cask /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" # Tell brew to look also in homebrew-versions brew tap caskroom/versions # Install Slicer.app (nightly) brew cask install slicer-nightly # Install cask-upgrade brew tap buo/cask-upgrade
Upgrade
Download and install nightly version of Slicer.app:
