Instructions for a supported install of Homebrew are on the homepage.
This script installs Homebrew to its preferred prefix (/usr/local
for macOS Intel, /opt/homebrew
for Apple Silicon) so thatyou don’t need sudo when youbrew install
. It is a careful script; it can be run even if you have stuffinstalled in /usr/local
already. It tells you exactly what it will do beforeit does it too. You have to confirm everything it will do before it starts.
macOS Requirements
This is a short and quick guide to install and configure Google Cloud SDK using Homebrew. If you are not using Homebrew to manage your packages, then you can follow the official guide to setup directly into Mac. Step 1: Prepare Homebrew If you don’t have Homebrew, then you need to install it first. Homebrew: a LitRPG Novel - Ebook written by Xavier P.

- A 64-bit Intel CPU or Apple Silicon CPU 1
- macOS Mojave (10.14) (or higher) 2
- Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode:
xcode-select --install
,developer.apple.com/downloads orXcode3 - A Bourne-compatible shell for installation (e.g.
bash
orzsh
) 4
Git Remote Mirroring
You can set HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE
and/or HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE
in your shell environment to use geolocalized Git mirrors to speed up Homebrew’s installation with this script and, after installation, brew update
.
The default Git remote will be used if the corresponding environment variable is unset.
Alternative Installs
Linux or Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux
Check out the Homebrew on Linux installation documentation.
Untar anywhere
Just extract (or git clone
) Homebrew wherever you want. Just avoid:
- Directories with names that contain spaces. Homebrew itself can handle spaces, but many build scripts cannot.
/tmp
subdirectories because Homebrew gets upset./sw
and/opt/local
because build scripts get confused when Homebrew is there instead of Fink or MacPorts, respectively.
Homebrew Google Interview
However do yourself a favour and install to /usr/local
on macOS Intel, /opt/homebrew
on macOS ARM,and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew
on Linux. Some things maynot build when installed elsewhere. One of the reasons Homebrew justworks relative to the competition is because we recommend installinghere. Pick another prefix at your peril!
Multiple installations
Create a Homebrew installation wherever you extract the tarball. Whichever brew
command is called is where the packages will be installed. You can use this as you see fit, e.g. a system set of libs in /usr/local
and tweaked formulae for development in ~/homebrew
.
Uninstallation
Uninstallation is documented in the FAQ.
1 For 32-bit or PPC support seeTigerbrew.
2 10.14 or higher is recommended. 10.9–10.13 aresupported on a best-effort basis. For 10.4-10.6 seeTigerbrew.
