Brew For Mac
If you are a Mac power user and probably a software engineer you will have Homebrew installed on your machine. In case that you don't know what Homebrew is, you can find more information here and you can read how to install it here. Basically, Homebrew is the missing package manager for Mac OS X and can be used to install additional unix packages. Is a tool that can really help you install almost anything and it can manage dependencies and update packages with just one command.
So here are the 10 best Homebrew packages for Mac:
Install Xcode via the Mac App Store. Install the command line tools by xcode-select -install. Follow Homebrew's installation instructions. To install Octave, update to the latest package definitions with brew update, and then install Octave. First we ensure brew itself has the latest definitions: brew update. Then, we install Octave: brew. Homebrew is a package manager for macOS mimicking Linux ones (think about apt-get as a canonical example). Obviously, it has some trendy features, like the total git integration. Obviously, it has some trendy features, like the total git integration. The homebrew package manager for mac is seriously awesome. Setting it up is a bit tricky if you don't know what to do - and hopefully this post will help.

Wget is a command line tool that can download files over HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS. Is a non command line interactive tool and can be used within bash scripts, cron jobs and terminals.
How to install it:

Htop is a top alternative which can provide additional information through the terminal about CPU usage, available memory, system uptime, running services and also the ability to kill running processes.
You can download and install it from the official website, but is much easier to do it from Homebrew by just typing in your terminal:
brew install htop and you can use it by typing htop after the installation.

Imagemagisk utilises multiple threads so it can do multiple I/O operations really fast. To install it you can do:
Extensive API documentation and the full capabilities of Imagemagisk can be found here.
6. Vim
Vim is the famous, highly configurable and somewhat controversial text editor you can use. It has an extensive variety of plugins and in my opinion if you invest some time to configure it properly and learn all the commands you will be writing a lot faster that using a text editor with a UI. It has support for hundreds of programming languages and it comes in every UNIX system. However, if you would like to get the latest version easily you should install it via Homebrew. A really nice website that will help you to learn VIM is called VIM Adventures. You will learn the basic commands by playing a game which is an interesting way of learning the tool.
brew install vim
For Apple computers there is a really good guide of how to configure it properly. It can be found here.
7. Zsh
Z shell is another shell, like for example bash (default on Macs). Zsh provides additional functionality and when it's used with a framework it can be really powerful and can help your productivity. Zsh comes with Mac OS X, however is outdated and usually you don't get frequent updates. That is why is better to install it via brew.
brew install zsh
The framework I recommend using with Zsh is called Oh my Zsh. I will show my Zsh + iTerm2 setup in a future post. Zsh has really good plugins and beautiful themes. I always keep finding myself looking for nice themes every couple of months just to change the look of my terminal.
8. Unrar
Everybody knows unrar. This is the command line version of the famous package unarchiver. It has full support for RAR and ZIP files. Some of the formats it can decompress are GZIP, ACE, CAB along with many more. Installation:

Parallel is a command line app that can concurrently execute multiple jobs in your local environment or remotely. A typical use case is to have a script that you would like to run many times. It can take as an input multiple hosts, users, urls or files. You can install it by executing:
