Homebrew doesn't come from the OS vendor. No automatic security updates. There is no package management where the admin can look up if any suspicious file was installed by homebrew. You can't verify that the files in /usr/local are actually from homebrew, and not tampered with. The homebrew installation process is not cryptographically signed. I can go on if you want me to... Conda, on the other hand, doesn't need root. Its as safe as any other user space app. You don't need admin permissions, and the standard unix permissions prevent you from screwing over other users on the system. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
