55,235 PointsVery similar, and super easy.
For example:
brew install (package)
brew list (see list of packages (called formulae) installed via homebrew>
brew upgrade (package>
brew update <update homebrew itself, should be done fairly regularly; see list of all updated packages (called formulae) in the homebrew system, not just locally)
brew uninstall (package>
See also (via command line): brew help
