Issue

Suggestion:

Addition of aider to Homebrew Package Manager for macOS

Homebrew is a prominent package manager for macOS, streamlining the installation, update, and management of software. Including aider in Homebrew would enhance accessibility and convenience for macOS users.

Benefits:

Simplified installation process with a single command: brew install aider.
Automated updates managed by Homebrew.
Increased exposure among macOS users.

Requirements:

To integrate aider with Homebrew, a Homebrew formula needs to be developed and submitted. Relevant resources include:

Homebrew Formula Documentation: https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook
Homebrew Contribution Guidelines: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

This definitely crosses my mind every few weeks. Just haven't prioritized it yet.

And macports as well, please!

Please consider adding to nixpkgs too.

@RaunakChhatwal see #544.

Another addition/alternative that might be useful here is to add instructions for using pipx to the general setup instructions:

https://github.com/pypa/pipx
- Install and Run Python Applications in Isolated Environments

Even though it's basically the same as using pip; might provide the '1-touch global setup' people might be looking for (as I know my original reason for wanting brew was to avoid having to juggle between different pyenv python environments for a 'globally instaled' CLI tool.

@miles170 Thanks for putting that together.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make it easier/automated to update the formula for new aider releases.
