![]() It's useful to be able to install a specific version. Packages in homebrew are typically updated to provide the latest version of an app, which means that you can find yourself running more recent versions of your software in development, than in production. I develop Agile Planner on a Mac, and install software required by my app (such as PostgreSQL, memcached and Elasticsearch) using the homebrew package manager. This is often the case when hosting apps on a PaaS (Platform as a Service) provider such as Heroku. My preferred approach is to develop my code in a virtual machine containing the same operating system and software as my production server environment, but sometimes we don't have much control over the code we run on the server. When developing for the web, I like to make sure that the software I'm using in development is a close match for the code that I'm running on my live servers.
