brew

A very simple gem to run some homebrew commands from your ruby code. If the brew executable is not installed, the constructor will throw an exception immediately.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'brew'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Two steps!

1. Create a client:

homebrew = Brew::HomeBrew.new

(will raise an exception if brew is not installed)

2. brew to your heart's content!

homebrew.update

homebrew.install('rbenv')

homebrew.upgrade('redis')

homebrew.uninstall('rbenv')

Available commands are: info, install, list, uninstall, update, upgrade (will raise an exception if any of the commands fail)
