The Homebrew project is anopen-source package-management system that comes with a repository ofuseful packages for Linux and macOS. Even though Linux distributionshave their own package management and repositories, Homebrew is oftenused to obtain software that is not available in a distribution's repositoryor to install more current versions of projects than are availablefrom long-term-support (LTS) distributions. Homebrew 5.0.0,released on November 12, 2025, expanded Linux support to include64-bit Arm packages in addition to x86_64, and turned on concurrentdownloads by default to speed up package downloads.
