Requires Homebrew to be installed on your Mac or Linux system before you can tap and install the apps.
Textualize's Homebrew tap is a small bridge that lets Mac and Linux users install Textualize's command-line apps through Homebrew, a popular package manager. Instead of hunting down download links or fiddling with setup steps, you run a couple of short commands in your terminal and the app is ready to go. Homebrew is a tool that automates software installation: it finds the right version for your system, downloads it, and handles any background dependencies. A "tap" is essentially an extra channel you add to Homebrew so it knows where to find apps that aren't in its default catalog. Once you run the tap command, you can install any of the supported Textualize tools just like you would any standard Homebrew package. This repo currently supports four apps. Frogmouth is a terminal-based Markdown file browser. See is a utility for viewing CSV, JSON, and Excel files in the terminal with nice formatting. textual-web lets you run Textualize terminal apps in a web browser, though the README notes it may still need more work. Toolong is designed for viewing and searching very large log files that would choke a normal text editor. The target audience is developers, sysadmins, or anyone comfortable with the terminal who wants quick access to these tools without manual setup. The README doesn't go into detail beyond listing the supported apps and the basic install command, so anyone looking for troubleshooting tips or deeper configuration guidance would need to consult each app's own documentation.
