How to install rename in a Mac

Question

I have been searching how to install rename to change file names with the terminal and mac. In several places explain that I should put

brew install rename

Change the name of many files

If I write that in the terminal it says

-bash: brew: command not found

What am I missing?

For future reference, always remember to Google the error message you're getting first. Very often, you will find a solution to your problem right among the first couple results. — Pekka, Jan 24 '17 at 16:40

The error you are getting indicates that you need to install Homebrew. Start with this page. Once Homebrew is installed, you can install additional utilities through it.
