Osx – Using Homebrew Rift Rsync on OS X

The rsync version on my OS X (10.10.3) is the old version, 2.6.9. I tried to upgrade with homebrew software, but I received the following error:

Error: No available formula for rsync

The new one should be 3.0 And faster, but how to install it without deleting the old one?

Follow the instructions here:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install rsync

Then edit /private/etc/paths to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin.
