HomeBrew
HOMEBREW (or Macports) is similar to the Yum and APT-GET tools under the Linux platform, which is an excellent package management tool. Here I chose Homebrew. (Why, because I only need one tool, it is enough o (∩_∩) o ~)

The Silver Searcher
The Silver Searcher is a tool for searching code. It started off as a clone of Ack, but their feature sets have since diverged slightly. In typical usage, Ag is 5-10x faster than Ack. See the GitHub page for more info.
is similar to ACK (Ruby), but it is implemented with C, so faster.
