Necessary to reduce an additional prompt for the user to deal with and
allow a more automated install process. This also includes better
architecture detection, instead of CPU detection, when determining
whether to install Rosetta.
Necessary for Apple Silicon machines -- at least for the time being --
in order to translate Intel based programs that are not ready to run
natively of Silicon hardware yet.
These tools were originally necessary for some of the Homebrew
applications to install successfully (especially Elasticsearch) but
those requirements are no longer necessary. This also reduces the setup
friction by requiring less manual work on behalf of the installer.
Helpful for first-time installers not familar with XCode. Also reduces
confusion with license window which always seems to appear behind
current window.
- Oracle makes it difficult to download the Java SE Development Kit as
an offline download because the license must be accepted first. The
JDK is important to have installed as several Homebrew apps require
it to exist first.
- This provides a prompt for checking that the Java SE Development Kit
has been installed before proceeding as the original way of
installing it assumed you had visited the Oracle web site and
accepted the license.
- Improves loading of the correct Bash environment/version, especially
on systems that might not be using a standard install (i.e.
Homebrew), by loading a version of Bash as defined by the environment
rather than a hard coded path.

- This is a copy of the [OSX](https://github.com/bkuhlmann/osx) project
originally released on 2012-03-31. The OSX project has been
deprecated. All future development and support will take place with
this project instead.
- This project uses the *macOS* name in order to better match the
updated branding and terminology used by Apple.
