how to do a homebrew install - avidemux - example

The workflow of installing an app with homebrew, with avidemux as an example, from https://www.avidemux.org/smf/index.php?topic=9960.msg53651#msg53651

After installation an App will be created in your Applications folder and there is finally a audio output device available (you have to select it in the preferences of the App: Edit -> Preferences -> Audio -> AudioDevice: "CoreAudio").

(1) Install XCode and the Command Line Tools of XCode.

(2) Install Homebrew using the following Terminal command:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

(Perhaps these steps 1 & 2 are now superceded by the instructions at brew.sh)


(3) Install the latest version of Avidemux (nightly version, recommended) using the following Terminal command:

brew install --HEAD avidemux


(4) When the installation has finished, you are asked to make an alias of the app in your Application folder using this command:

brew linkapps

--------------------------------
If you want to update Avidemux to the latest nightly version:

brew rm -f avidemux
brew install --HEAD avidemux


If you want to install the "stable" version of Avidemux (Milestone):

brew install avidemux
