Homebrew is what a package manager would look like if Apple was doing it.

So quite limited in scope and not much configurable options and if you say that you need some features, they'll tell you you're doing it wrong.

It is quite easy to install though and has a lot of packages but if you have specific needs that are unmet, you are on your own.

It's more of a update manager than a true package manager.
