When I was given a macbook at work I used to curse all the time at mac os' grep which is not gnu grep, and lacks a lot of nice cool features...

  You can use brew to install gnu grep as a replacement.

    Its funny how people will admit to being upset about something when they are supposed to be tech saavy and should have just googled the solution .

    on my work MacBook we can't just brew install things, no admin permissions except for whitelisted things

      Lucky that you can install homebrew into your home directory with no admin rights then!

      Thank god somebody understands that not everybody is given toy macbooks to install whatever they like with no screening and/or block list.

        You can install brew to any directory, including your home directory.
