The script will explain what changes it will make and prompt you before the
installation begins.
Once you've installed Homebrew, insert the Homebrew directory at the top
of your ``PATH`` environment variable. You can do this by adding the following
line at the bottom of your ``~/.bashrc`` file

.. code-block:: console

$ brew doctor

will analyse the setup and give hints which steps you might have missed.

Once you've installed Homebrew, move the Homebrew directory to the top
of your ``PATH`` environment variable. You can do this either globaly
by editing ``/etc/paths``, e.g. by

.. code-block:: console

$ sudo nano /etc/paths

and writing the last line first or by adding

.. code-block:: console

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

to ``~/.bash_profile``. This is tested with OS X 10.8.5.
