67 PointsHelp request with Installing Homebrew on MacOSX 10.7 :)
Hi fellow Treehousers ! :)
@ 3:42, Jason advises us to "Click install Homebrew button"
In the version of Homebrew that I found online : http://brew.sh/
... there is no "Click install Homebrew button" ..?
& also when he says 'Terminal', what does that mean and where do I access this program..?
Thank You for your support, as I am a complete beginner to computer programming and would really appreciate your pointers :)
Thank You in advance !

You'll quickly learn that Jason has a sense of humour :) Although, there may have been an "install homebrew" button when he recorded the video.
If you haven't used the Terminal (console) before, Treehouse has a fantastic Deep Dive series that walks you through getting comfortable with the console. I would highly recommend going through this before proceeding.
You can find it here:

Good luck on your adventure!

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
that will install Homebrew for you.
