[ncl-talk] Installing NCL in MACBOOK (OS X Yosemite)

[Craig Mattocks]

Homebrew, the “missing package manager for OS X”:

http://brew.sh

also works great for installing open source software.

Copy-and-paste the install line at the bottom of a web page into Terminal.

Typical usage:

brew install gcc49
brew install gfortran

Later, keep everything up-to-date:

brew update
brew upgrade

‘man brew’ for more info.
