Or you can take the extra minute to install them yourself with brew, this a complete non issue for anyone that understands the command line in the 21st century using MacOS. Also, I would never build anything against macos userland because it's almost never the target.
- behnamoh 2y agothese two are orthogonal to each other.
- paulddraper 2y agoBrew takes a minute just to update itself, let alone install anything. And then everything needs to have the /opt/brewsomethingsomething PATH. /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin not good enough.

- bastardoperator 2y agoSo what? Do you complain when apt, yum, dnf, pacman, ports, or any other package management system does a download? I bet you don't, so it's not really a usable argument. Secondly, yeah, not tainting my systems OS and system paths is a good thing and opt/ from the filesystem perspective is the absolute right place to put add on packages. "The /opt/ directory is normally reserved for software and add-on packages that are not part of the default installation"
- paulddraper 2y agoI complain every single time apt, yum have to self update for a solid half minute plus.
