Tigerbrew
=========

A little experimental fork of [Homebrew][homebrew] that adds support for PowerPC Macs, and Macs running Tiger (or Leopard).

Installation
============

Paste this into a terminal prompt:

```sh
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/go/install)"
```

You'll also want to make sure that /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin are in your PATH. (Unlike later Mac OS versions, /usr/local/bin isn't in the default PATH.) If you use bash as your shell, add this line to your ~/.bash_profile:

```sh
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
```

What Packages Are Available?
----------------------------
1. You can [browse the Formula directory on GitHub][formula].
2. Or type `brew search` for a list.
3. Or use `brew desc` to browse packages from the command line.

More Documentation
------------------
`brew help` or `man brew` or check our [wiki][].

FAQ

### How do I switch from homebrew?

Run these commands from your terminal. You must have git installed.

```
cd `brew --repository`
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew.git
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
```

### Something broke!

Many of the formulae in the repository have been tested, but there are still many that haven't been tested on Tiger and/or PowerPC yet. If something doesn't work, [report a bug][issues] (or submit a [pull request][prs]!) and we'll get it working.
