This step by step helps me to know in details homebrew installation on my mac. It helps me finally to install mongodb.
Thanks for the article, I just used this. My homebrew was broken after upgrading to Mojave.
Updating Xcode looks problematic for some people, as it seems like the only version of Xcode in the App Store requires macOS 10.15.2 or later. I was able to circumvent this by downloading git manually via dmg on sourceforge. I was then able to upgrade homebrew.
Thank you buddy, really helps.
when executing the commad this happen for me i and i cant execute this with the sudo command my mac automatically prohibit me from doing this
Any advice for those of us upgrading to Mojave instead? Migration techniques?
I've tried on Mojave preinstalled PC, so I'm not so sure how homebrew is by upgrading to Mojave.
But it seems homebrew doesn't work sometimes if you upgrade MacOS to Mojave.
How about trying
brew doctor, or installing command-line-tool again by
xcode-select --installor
xcode-select --reset?
Hi. I should have been more clear. What I was asking was whether there are steps that brew users should take before and after upgrading to Mojave.
I used to use MacPorts and for that it was important to remove the entire Ports installation (saving information about your installed ports), upgrade the OS, and reinstall Ports.
I understand from others that this is not necessary for brew. Do you know?
It seems like dumping a brew bundle is a good precaution, because I think it could be used to rebuild the brew configuration if necessary.
