The below instruction is from Point Cloud Library:

To install the latest version using the formula, execute the following command:

You can specify options to control which parts of PCL are installed. For example, to build just the libraries without extra dependencies, execute the following command:

$ brew install pcl --without-apps --without-tools --without-vtk --without-qt

For a full list of the available options, see the formula’s help:

Once PCL is installed, you may wish to periodically upgrade it. Update Homebrew and, if a PCL update is available, upgrade:

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade pcl
