Homebrew

By far the best package manager for Mac OS. And trust me, I've been there with MacPorts and Fink and I know the reason Homebrew was created.

Installation

Before installing Homebrew make sure you have installed Command Line Tools for Xcode. This will be installed together with Xcode, but if you want to just install the Command Line Tools and not the full Xcode package, you can use this command:

$ xcode-select --install

Now that we've have everything, lets rock:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

On a an new terminal run the following command to make sure everything works and to clean the installation files:

$ brew doctor
