+Homebrew (PostGIS option)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Homebrew provides "recipes" for building binaries and packages from source. It
+can be used to get the dependencies needed to use PostgreSQL and PostGIS.
+
+::
+
+    $ brew install postgresql
+    $ brew install postgis
+    $ brew install gdal
+
+This does ``not`` provide the ```template_postgis``` template database used in
+the tutorial. The following commands show how that template can be created,
+assuming you're running postgresql locally. You should adjust the commands as
+needed to account for non-local postgres, a different database user, or other
+details. Also, you may need to adjust the SQL paths based on the version of
+postgres you installed with homebrew.
+
+::
+
+    $ createdb -h localhost template_postgis
+    $ psql -h localhost -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/ \
+        9.1.2/share/postgresql/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql
+    $ psql -h localhost -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/ \
