Perhaps you're referring to Linuxbrew - "a fork of Homebrew, the Mac OS package manager, for Linux."

It exposes the same repository as its OSX counterpart, with linux-flavoured customisations where necessary.

From feature list at http://linuxbrew.sh/

- Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo

- Install software not packaged by the native distribution

- Install up-to-date versions of software when the native distribution is old

- Use the same package manager to manage both your Mac and Linux machines

Nope, I am talking about Homebrew, it provides the best way to install htop on OSX.
The htop package on Homebrew is a fork of the original for OS X called htop-osx.

Didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.

I hope the fork will be deprecated now for the official one. There's already a related issue on the repo.
