These formulae provide multiple versions of existing packages, or newer versions of packages that are too incompatible to go in Homebrew/homebrew yet (Such as GnuPG21).
Just brew tap homebrew/versions
and then brew install <formula>
.
If the formula conflicts with one from Homebrew/homebrew or another tap, you can brew install homebrew/versions/<formula>
.
You can also install via URL:
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/<formula>.rb
You can read Homebrew’s Acceptable Formulae document here. There are some differences between Homebrew/homebrew and here:
- Versions formulae usually do not have head or devel sections.
- Versions formulae can depend on other versions formulae.
- Please remove any existing bottle block in your formula prior to submission.
- If copied from Homebrew/homebrew prior formulae please remove any deprecated options and fix any issues raised by
brew audit --strict
. - If a newer/older version exists in Homebrew/homebrew please add a
conflicts_with
line, like this.
First, please run brew update
and brew doctor
.
Second, read the Troubleshooting Checklist.
If you don’t read these it will take us far longer to help you with your problem.
