Brew install of PostgreSQL and MongoDB on OS X 10.10 Yosemite (Workaround)

Fire up terminal: sudo vim /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and enter your password...

At the bottom of SystemVersion.plist, change:

<key>ProductVersion</key> <string>10.10</string

to:

<key>ProductVersion</key> <string>10.9</string>

and then you can proceed with either brew install postgresql or brew install mongodb without issue.

###IMPORTANT Remember to revert your changes once you are finished installing, or your system applications, including terminal, will cease to function.
