What are Package Managers for Ruby?

Package managers are software tools that automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages. They simplify dependency management by ensuring that required libraries and modules are downloaded and updated correctly. Many package managers connect to online repositories, allowing developers and system administrators to access large ecosystems of software quickly. By standardizing installations and updates, they reduce errors, improve consistency, and save time in both development and production environments. Package managers are widely used across programming languages, operating systems, and frameworks to streamline software distribution and maintenance.

    Homebrew

    The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux). The script explains what it will do and then pauses before it does it. Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local (on macOS Intel). Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates. Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.
