brew: Install the latest stable version of a formula or cask (use `--devel` for development versions).

brew

$ brew install ${formula}

try on your machine

This command installs a software package or formula using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS.

The "${formula}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual name of the formula you want to install. A formula is essentially a recipe or set of instructions that Homebrew uses to install software packages.

To use this command, you need to replace "${formula}" with the name of the desired formula. For example, if you wanted to install the formula for Git, the command would be:

brew install git

This will download and install the Git package on your macOS system. The formula name you use should match the name of the formula in the Homebrew repository. You can search for specific formulas on the Homebrew website or by using the "brew search" command.
