Oh, I see, so you cannot use yum on OSX? I never realised it (or its packages) wouldn't be compatible.

No, Yum isn't available or compatible, it's coupled to Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS linux distributions like Apt is coupled to Debian/Ubuntu/Mint distributions.

Homebrew/MacPorts/Fink are nearly the same thing, they just don't come installed by default on OSX.

Got it! Thank you!
