Linuxbrew[0] is another great option. It's just a fork of Homebrew adapted for Linux. There are a few quirks, but it works pretty well. The best part is that there's a very large number of packages available the often work just as well on Linux as on OS X.
Is there any description on how this works? Does it install to a custom folder you specify? Does it alias over currently installed packages? Also, if I run a script of some kind (say make), am I guaranteed to call the right gcc if I install it with NORM?
I don't mean this in any offensive way, of course, but the site leaves something to be wanted describing just _how_ your project works. I can garner a few things from the README and some of the scripts in the repo, but I shouldn't have to read the source code to know where you'll install things.

I'd like to take advantage of something like this, but quite frankly I think you haven't quite hit the nail on the head with regards to https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/27d5xr/please_....
