Brew Terminal

Posted on |



The Homebrew package manager may be used on Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Homebrew was formerly referred to as Linuxbrew when running on Linux or WSL. It can be installed in your home directory, in which case it does not use sudo. Homebrew does not use any libraries provided by your host system, except glibc and gcc if they are new enough. Homebrew can install its own current versions of glibc and gcc for older distributions of Linux.

Features, installation instructions and requirements are described below. Terminology (e.g. the difference between a Cellar, Tap, Cask and so forth) is explained in the documentation.

GOROOT=”$(brew –prefix golang)/libexec” puting these lines in your.zshrc file will significantly slow down terminal open time. Type brew search for a list. Or visit formulae.brew.sh to browse packages online. Or use brew search -desc to browse packages from the command line. More Documentation. Brew help, man brew or check our documentation. First, please run brew update and brew doctor. Second, read the Troubleshooting Checklist.

Features

  • Can install software to your home directory and so does not require sudo
  • Install software not packaged by your host distribution
  • Install up-to-date versions of software when your host distribution is old
  • Use the same package manager to manage your macOS, Linux, and Windows systems

Install

Instructions for a supported install of Homebrew on Linux are on the homepage.

Terminal Brewhouse

Brew update && install node. Set up node.js in your system and open up the terminal; Navigate to the directory, where the js file is saved. New versions of Homebrew come out frequently, so make sure you update it before updating any of the other software components that you’ve installed using Homebrew. In Terminal type brew update. How to Uninstall Homebrew. Open the Terminal app.

The installation script installs Homebrew to /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew using sudo if possible and in your home directory at ~/.linuxbrew otherwise. Homebrew does not use sudo after installation. Using /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew allows the use of more binary packages (bottles) than installing in your personal home directory.

The prefix /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew was chosen so that users without admin access can ask an admin to create a linuxbrew role account and still benefit from precompiled binaries. If you do not yourself have admin privileges, consider asking your admin staff to create a linuxbrew role account for you with home directory /home/linuxbrew.

Follow the Next steps instructions to add Homebrew to your PATH and to your bash shell profile script, either ~/.profile on Debian/Ubuntu or ~/.bash_profile on CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat.

You’re done! Try installing a package:

If you’re using an older distribution of Linux, installing your first package will also install a recent version of glibc and gcc. Use brew doctor to troubleshoot common issues.

Requirements

  • GCC 4.7.0 or newer
  • Linux 2.6.32 or newer
  • Glibc 2.13 or newer
  • 64-bit x86_64 CPU

Paste at a terminal prompt:

Debian or Ubuntu

Fedora, CentOS, or Red Hat

ARM

Homebrew can run on 32-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi and others) and 64-bit ARM (AArch64), but no binary packages (bottles) are available. Support for ARM is on a best-effort basis. Pull requests are welcome to improve the experience on ARM platforms.

You may need to install your own Ruby using your system package manager, a PPA, or rbenv/ruby-build as we no longer distribute a Homebrew Portable Ruby for ARM.

32-bit x86

Brew Terminal

Homebrew does not currently support 32-bit x86 platforms. It would be possible for Homebrew to work on 32-bit x86 platforms with some effort. An interested and dedicated person could maintain a fork of Homebrew to develop support for 32-bit x86.

Alternative Installation

Extract or git clone Homebrew wherever you want. Use /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew if possible (to enable the use of binary packages).
