What is Tigerbrew?

Tigerbrew is an experimental fork of Homebrew that adds support for PowerPC Macs running Tiger or Leopard.

Installing

First you will need to install Xcode on your Mac.

Download this install script to your PowerPC mac.

Run the script by opening Terminal and typing ruby then draging the install script into terminal and press enter.  Once this completes Tigerbrew should be installed.  Then run:

brew update

brew install git curl

After this completes you will need to add the directory tigerbrew installs software in to your $PATH variable.

echo "export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
