See Homebrew's homepage at brew.sh for installation instructions, what homebrew does, packages, brew bundle and more. Homebrew is a non-profit project run entirely by volunteers, not employees. We need your funds to pay for software, hardware and hosting around continuous integration and future improvements to the project. Every donation will be spent on making Homebrew better for our users. Please consider a regular donation through GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or Patreon. Homebrew is fiscally hosted by the Open Source Collective. 📦 Packages Find formulae, casks, dependencies, versions and package metadata on formulae.brew.sh . View anonymised install, build and operating system usage data at formulae.brew.sh/analytics . Read how Homebrew uses Anonymous Analytics. First, please run brew update and run (and read ) brew doctor . If you don't read these it will take us far longer to help you with your problem. After this, if you still need help, please ask in Homebrew/discussions or follow (and read ) the Homebrew/brew new issue chooser. A good starting point for contributing is: brew tap --force homebrew/core or brew tap --force homebrew/cask (depending on whether you'd rather work on formulae or casks) perform a strict audit on a package you use e.g. brew audit --strict ffmpeg for FFmpeg if no warnings, run brew audit --strict to run on all packages and pick one to fix read through the warnings and fix them until brew audit --strict shows no results submit a pull request with your fixes Alternatively, for something more substantial, check out one of the open issues in Homebrew/brew, Homebrew/homebrew-core or Homebrew/homebrew-cask. If you've had inspiration for a new feature or bug fix: we don't need you to open an issue first, just open a pull request with your implementation and we'll review it. Please see our security policy for how to report security issues and what is in scope.
