The Minimum Requirements
• An Intel CPU

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

# resolve all issue, mostly remove other installation of Macport etc..
# Ignore the PATH Issues.. “Consider setting your PATH so that /usr/local/bin occurs before /usr/bin.”
#Note: For those on Mac OS X, you can use curl -O instead of wget.
