Installing software via Homebrew

All software installed on the system must be listed in .Brewfile. This is symlinked at ~/.Brewfile and used by brew bundle.

To install all the software, add it to .Brewfile and run:

mv ./Brewfile ~/.Brewfile
brew bundle --global

Some stuff will take long, in that case, identify which packages and update .Brewfile to install them with args: ['force-bottle'] or do a one-off brew install --force-bottle [pkg] install.
