> HomeBrew for Mac or Linux

Please do not recommend HomeBrew for Linux. A binary download is safer compared to how HomeBrew clobbers a Linux machine. If you do not wish to use a Linux package manager, simply point at the binary download. It is much safer and less intrusive.

Homebrew isn't any better on macOS. Why people use it instead of MacPorts is beyond me.
