Install Linux Apps On Mac

Slack developer Felix Rieseberg has transformed Mac OS 8 into an app you can install on your Mac or PC. The app even includes classic games like Duke Nukem 3D and apps like Photoshop 3. Your Linux Mac should have at least 16MB of RAM, but I recommend 24MB or more. You need at least 10MB free (after Mac OS loads) to run the bootloader program at a minimum.

This brief guide will take you step by step through the process of installing wget in macOS.

FYI – this guide could just as easily be called “how to install Linux Apps in macOS” – as there are a slew of *nix programs that have been ported to work via Homebrew.

With Homebrew, the “missing package manager for macOS” (more info here), you can easily install wget in macOS with just a few Terminal commands. Even better, Homebrew itself is just as easy to install. Here goes –

Run Mac On Linux

Install Homebrew

Mac Software On Linux

  1. Go to Applications ->Utilities and double-click Terminal. Then copy and paste the following command into Terminal and hit return (Enter) on your keyboard:
Mac software on linux

/usr/bin/ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)'

  1. In all likelihood you’ll see the line The Xcode Command Line Tools will be installed. Hit the return key on your keyboard to continue.
  2. Enter your macOS password when prompted.
  3. Sit back and wait. Don’t worry if nothing seems to be happening while the software installs, just give it a bit of time.
  4. Once the installation has completed you’ll be back at the Terminal prompt. Keep it open, we’ll be using it in the next section too.

Run Mac Apps On Windows

Install wget in macOS

Install Mac Os On Ubuntu

  1. Now that you have Homebrew installed, it’s time to install wget. To do so, enter the command:

    brew install wget

  2. Once again just sit back and wait. Installing wget will take less time than it did to install Homebrew, so don’t go too far away.
  3. Once again you’ll be back at the macOS Terminal prompt.
  4. Now type wget to make sure everything went smoothly.
  5. If you need a refresher on using wget, we’ve got you covered with a guide on using wget. You can also read the manual for wget by entering the command man wget
  6. Enjoy!
