Proxy

Installing some kind of shadowsocks or v2ray or any other proxy, set socks5 and http protocols.

# if some commands failed may due to a poor network in countries like China
export all_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:PORT_NUMBER
# or
export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:PORT_NUMBER
# PORT_NUMBER is your shadowsocks settings

Homebrew

• Install homebrew;

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh>)"

# no auto-update (***but you'd better not***)
export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=true

• In China, you may need to change to the mirror (not recommended)
