   ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)” < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
3. Install atomist-cli using brew
   brew install atomist-cli

atomist-cli is ready to use now!

When an SDM runs in local mode, it cannot send messages to people in chat. Instead, it sends them to the feed. The feed is an instance of the Atomist command line (run as atomist feed) that stays open listening for messages from local-mode SDMs and printing them. When you run commands or make commits locally, the feed prints information.
