It would be more convenient if you could brew install micro on a Mac.

Micro is now in the official brew repository :D.

I quickly made a simple homebrew formula here but I think I should release v0.1 before adding to the official brew repository (or apt repository). Hopefully that will happen soon.

Cool. Keep up the good work! :-)

I followed the README but got this error (removing the file results in same error):

brew install --devel micro

Yeah, I updated the binary but forgot to update the sha256 checksum. Should be fixed now!

@zyedidia

brew tap zyedidia/micro
brew install --devel micro

still does not work. error:

➜  ~ brew install --devel micro
Error: No available formula with the name "micro"
...

Just installed here, and its working as described on the README.

@ahmetalpbalkan just built and works on the latest version of homebrew like @valtifelipe said.

Micro is now in the official brew repository :D.

$ brew install micro

It's really amazing how fast micro has come so far. March was only six months ago, but this is already a full replacement for nano/pico, and a pretty good text editor in general.
