What Goes Pumpkin The Night Mac OS

Posted on  by

When we develop a production software(like, eCommerce website, or an SaaS) it's never just one programming language that satisfies all the requirements, and we end up using various libraries and software packages, which we must install on our server for the software to run. For example, if you develop a web application in Java using Jax-RS API like: Jersey, RESTeasy etc for REST services, then to run this software you must install Java and the other libraries/APIs used on the server. Also during development, you will have to install these packages in your local computer too.

Mac-OS 8; Spyware The ugly colors of ugly software. Windows 3.1 Hotdog Stand Windows 3.1 had very interesting themes. (Yes, this was real). Windows 8 The pleasant colors from the much-maligned Start Screen. Windows 8 - Border The same scheme, but the shapes have a black border for contrast. Windows 95 Start me up! Night Shift mode in macOS is meant to shift display color, but doesn’t adjust brightness. A new study says it’s even more important for a night’s sleep. Screenshot: Cult of Mac.

Homebrew is a software package manager for Mac OS which can be used to install required packages, libraries etc to setup your local development requirements.

Another example, if you decide to learn Python, how will you do that? You will use online tutorials to learn the basics of the language and then practice by creating small programs/scripts in python. Now to run/execute these scripts you will have to install python in your local computer, again, how will you do that? If you are a mac user, you can use Homebrew.


  1. Install software packages required for setting up local development environment in your macOS.
  2. Not only this, you can even use Homebrew to install other softwares like VLC, Google Chrome etc.
  3. You can install all the UNIX Tools on your macOS using Homebrew.
  4. Using Homebrew Cask, which is an extensuion of Homebrew, you can even install Binary apps(DMG files)


What happens Behind the Scene?

Whenever we install a new software package or tool, it should be installed in the /usr/local directory, as this is the directory where user specific software packages are installed. Homebrew installs the packages inside this directory, or at times, it installs the packages in their own directory and then symlinks(create soft link) their files into /usr/local/ directory

Belwo we have a step by step guide to install Homebrew on your computer/laptop


Step 1

To install and run Homebrew on macOS we need to install Command Line Tools on our mac. If you have XCode installed on your local environment then you do not need to do anything and can directly jump to the next step.

To install Command Line Tools, open your terminal(Press Command Spacebar and type in 'Terminal' to open the Terminal App) and run the following command.

The above command will install command line tools in your computer, or if you already have that installed, it will show the message 'error: command line tools are already installed'.


Step 2

To install Homebrew, run the following command,

Running this script requires password, so when it asks for the password, provide your user passowrd and press 'Enter'

Once this command executes without error(if you get any error, post in comment and we will help you out)


Step 3

Run the following command to see if everything is installed fine.

This will inform you about the status of Homebrew and will ask you to update a few packages, if required.

Step 4

Once the installation process is done, we will now put the Homebrew directory at the top of the environment variable PATH in our system. You must be wondering, why we need to do this? Well, to ensure that the Homebrew installations(software packages installed using Homebrew) are given priority over the default Mac OS X tools selected by the OS.

Open or create the ~/.bash_profile file using nano editor:

Write the following in the file:

To save the file, once you have added the above line to it, press the control key and the letter O, then press the Enter key. Then you can exit the nano editor by pressing the control key and the letter X together.

To activate the changes made to the bash_profile file, type:



Using Homebrew you can easily search, download, updat and remove open-source utilities, libraries etc that you need for your local development.

To search for any software package:

NOTE: Here name-of-the-package will be the name of the utility you want to search for.

To download and install the package:

To update the package:

To remove the package from your system:

Start using these command and your life will become so much easier. You can even look for software packages available with Homebrew on the Homebrew Formulae webpage.

If you have Homebrew installed in your macOS and now want to remove it for some reason, you can easily uninstall it by running the following command,



Conclusion

If you are a mac user, start using Homebrew, because its' easy to use, manages the complete lifecycle of installations(search, download, install, update and remove) and it is free to use. Share your experience of using Homebrew with us by commenting down below.

PumpKIN is an open source, fully functional, free TFTP server and TFTP client, which implements TFTP according to RFC1350. It also implements block size option, which allows transfer of files over 32MB, as well as transfer size and transfer timeout options described in RFC2348 and RFC2349.

The primary use of PumpKIN is maintenance of the network equipment (such as router firmware upgrade) that fetches images from TFTP server, although it is also useful for transfering files between parties involved in a conversation over ntalk connection using our T42 software (it also detects ntalk conversation held over now obsolete program 'wintalk'). Note: this functionality is only implemented in windows version.

The main PumpKIN features are:

  • Fully standard-compliant TFTP file transfer
  • Unlimited simultaneous transfers both for TFTP server and client
  • Support for TFTP blocksize option allows transfer of large files if both TFTP server and client support it
  • Convenient GUI
  • Combines TFTP server and TFTP client
  • Originally developed for Windows 95, it reportedly runs on all Win32 platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT, ME, XP, now also ported to Mac OS X (so far only tested on Mountain Lion)
  • Can run in background, taking up a 256 pixels of screen nicely packed as a 16x16 square in your notification tray area (windows only)
  • Open source for those willing to add missing features, fix bugs and examine code for potential flaws and fun
  • You’re free to torture it the way you want to as long as you preserve original author’s credentials
  • It would cost you nothing unless you’re willing to monetarily express your gratitude and make a donation (yes, it means “free” or “freeware”, just go and download it)
  • The download size is about that of the high quality screenshot below (windows only — Mac version is bigger, due to graphics supplied for way too many resolutions).

Note that PumpKIN is not an FTP server, neither it is an FTP client, it is a TFTP server and TFTP client. TFTP is not FTP, these are different protocols. TFTP, unlike FTP, is used primarily for transferring files to and from the network equipment (e.g. your router, switch, hub, whatnot firmware upgrade or backup, or configuration backup and restore) that supports using of TFTP server for, not for general purpose serving downloadable files or retrieving files from the FTP servers around the world.

Here is what it looks like on Windows:
