How to install mimms on Mac using homebrew. Earlier, I installed it using MacPorts but they are ugly and clutter the system a lot. Therefore, on another machine I installed HomeBrew instead, which works fine except I am unable to find mimms on it. Googling results in nothing.

  • If semi-automatic installation is also an option you can install `libmms` via Homebrew and get the latest `mimms` release from `https://launchpad.net/mimms`. It's just a few Python scripts but they rely on `libmms.0.dylib` so after calling `make` you'll need to change the `cdll.LoadLibrary` call in `build/libmms.py` accordingly. – Stefan Schmidt May 10 '13 at 13:43

I wrapped the suggestions in the above comment into a formula for mimms:

https://github.com/stefanschmidt/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/mimms.rb

It can be applied via the brew install <URL> mechanism.

brew install https://raw.github.com/stefanschmidt/homebrew/master/Library/Formula/mimms.rb

Update (2014-10-28): Meanwhile mimms is available from the main repository:

brew install mimms
