Upgrades - How to upgrade brew modules
Few things before you start installing the below listed items on Mojave.
1. SIP needs to be disabled.
2. On unsupported macs like 2008 and 2009 2,1 and 3,1 models you need to use a patcher from dosdue1 in order to be able to install/boot into Mojave. Your best bet is if you use an SSD that is formatted APFS. Anything else will not give you the performance/speed (on these older macs) that is satisfactory. (Although you can install on a drive as well.)
3. An excellent free code/text editor (Visual Studio Code) with a built in terminal is available for download. It will allow you to edit various config files with admin privilege from user desktop.
