Homebrew (un)installer
Install Homebrew (on macOS or Linux)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
More installation information and options: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation.
If running Linux or WSL, there are some pre-requisite packages to install.
You can set HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API
to tap Homebrew/homebrew-core; by default, it will not be tapped as it is no longer necessary.
You can set HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE
and/or HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE
in your shell environment to use geolocalized Git mirrors to speed up Homebrew's installation with this script and, after installation, brew update
.
export HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE="..." # put your Git mirror of Homebrew/brew here
export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE="..." # put your Git mirror of Homebrew/homebrew-core here
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
The default Git remote will be used if the corresponding environment variable is unset.
If you want to run the Homebrew installer non-interactively without prompting for passwords (e.g. in automation scripts), you can use:
NONINTERACTIVE=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Uninstall Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
If you want to run the Homebrew uninstaller non-interactively, you can use:
NONINTERACTIVE=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
Download the uninstall script and run /bin/bash uninstall.sh --help
to view more uninstall options.
