12```sh
13sudo sh -c "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/retry/master/retry -o /usr/local/bin/retry && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/retry"

16If you're on OS X, retry is also on Homebrew:
17
18```
19brew pull 27283
20brew install retry
21```
22Not popular enough for homebrew-core. Please star this project to help.
