Install

Python 3.6+

Clone the repository to wherever you like, e.g:

git clone https://github.com/KuangyeChen/manbrew.git ~/.Manbrew

Link the {manbrew_install_path}/manbrew to wherever under your PATH, e.g:

ln -s ~/.Manbrew/manbrew /usr/local/bin/manbrew

Build the library from source with install prefix set to {manbrew_install_path}/Containers/{library_name} e.g:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`manbrew root`/containers/opencv ..

Then manbrew link {library_name}, e.g:

manbrew link opencv

All done.
