Get ahcpd installed on mac using brew

Package Information:

Name: ahcpd
Use: Autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 and IPv6/IPv4 networks

AHCP is an autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 and dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 networks designed to be used in place of router discovery and DHCP on networks where it is difficult or impossible to configure a server within every link-layer broadcast domain, for example mobile ad-hoc networks.

Installation Steps:

1. Open Terminal using Spotlight search by pressing <command+space>. Type terminal and hit Enter key.
2. Run the following command

   ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

3. Install ahcpd using brew

   brew install ahcpd

ahcpd is ready to use now!

AHCP will automatically configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, name servers and NTP servers. It will not configure default routes, since it is designed to be run together with a routing protocol (such as Babel or OLSR).

We are hoping to replace AHCP with an extended version of the Homenet HNCP protocol. But for now, AHCP is what is used on the PPS network.
