Installing
To install nmap on a Mac, use Homebrew.
When I used Homebrew to install nmap, the installation step was successful, but Homebrew failed to link due to a permissions problem:
$ brew install nmap Warning: nmap-7.40 already installed, it's just not linked. $ brew link nmap Linking /usr/local/Cellar/nmap/7.40... Error: Could not symlink share/man/de/man1/nmap.1 /usr/local/share/man/de/man1 is not writable.
O NOES!!! Because I don't give two hoots about German man pages, I just changed the permissions of this folder:
$ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/share/man/de $ brew link nmap Linking /usr/local/Cellar/nmap/7.40... 26 symlinks created
