SSHPass is a tiny utility, which allows you to provide the ssh password without using the prompt. This will very helpful for scripting. SSHPass is not good to use in multi-user environment. If you use SSHPass on your development machine, it don't do anything evil.
apt-get install sshpass
This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.
I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.
Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.
While I love my Geeklets, I had a pretty hard time to set them up consistently across varying monitor setups (home, work, on the go,...). The bad news first: There is no built in mechanism (as of 01/2013) to take care of this problem. Still there are good news: With some minor tinkering, you can automagically position your Geeklets across multiple setups.
The initial step is to add your Geeklets - you can totally ignore the positioning for the moment.
These instructions will guide you through the process of setting up local, trusted websites on your own computer.
These instructions are intended to be used on macOS Sierra, but they have been known to work in El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, and Mountain Lion.
NOTE: You may substitute the edit command for nano, vim, or whatever the editor of your choice is. Personally, I forward the edit command to Sublime Text:
alias edit="/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
