<h1>Why should you do this?</h1>
<p>On <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pacha.hk/2017-07-12_r_and_python_via_homebrew.html" target="_blank">Install R and Python via Homebrew</a> I described some potential problems when using R or Python libraries.</p>
<p>After doing a fresh OS X install I had some problems with <span>\(\LaTeX\)</span> and XQuartz. The root of the problem is directories location that is easily solved with Homebrew as it doesn’t touch the system and provides symlinks for its packages.</p>
<h1>What do you need to do this?</h1>
<p>You’ll need Homebrew and XCode installed. How to do that? check these links</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://brew.sh/" target="_blank">Install Homebrew</a></li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://developer.apple.com/download/" target="_blank">Install XCode</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Its possible to install just Command Line Tools for XCode from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://developer.apple.com/download/more/" target="_blank">Apple Developers</a> instead of full XCode. The script below contains a line to install that.</p>
