For those that must stay with Apple, and don't have the time / energy
/ patience to futz with it, and can live without Linux per se, but
just want the FOSS, there's Moe, Larry and Curly:

Homebrew (http://brew.sh/), MacPorts (https://www.macports.org/), and
Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/)

This may help you decide among them if you go down that road.

I've used Fink and MacPorts to a limited degree on a machine at
Gallaudet.  That was before Homebrew was available. As I recall, I
largely abandoned Fink, but I don't remember if it was due to trouble
or limited package selections.
