Homebrew is a free and open source package management system specially designed for Apple’s Mac OS operating system. It is written using Ruby programming language, and it comes preinstalled with Mac OS. As you might know, it is one of the open source project that had both the largest number of contributors and issues closed of any project on GitHub. If you ever looking for a similar package manager like Homebrew for your Linux operating system, look nowhere, just go for Linuxbrew. In this brief guide, we will be discussing how to install Linuxbrew in Ubuntu and CentOS, and how to use it to install, remove, and update packages.
Linuxbrew is the fork of Homebrew and you can use it on both Mac OS and Linux. Its usage is pretty much same as Homebrew. Since Linuxbrew will be installed in your home directory, it does not require root access. You can use Linuxbrew to install the packages which are not packaged to your the native distribution. It also allows to install most up-to-date applications and packages.
Install Linuxbrew
Mac Os X 10.11 Download Free
Linuxbrew needs the following dependencies in your Linux box.
- Ruby 1.8.6 or newer
- GCC 4.4 or newer
- Linux 2.6.16 or newer
- 64-bit x86 or 32-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi)
Linuxbrew does not currently support 32-bit x86 platforms.
Before installing Linuxbrew, make sure the aforementioned dependencies have been installed. If they are not installed already, run the following commands to install them on your Linux system.
On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
On Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora:
Once you installed the prerequisites, run the following command to install Linuxbrew.
Note: Do not run the following commands as root user.
Once the installation is completed, you should see an output something like below.
Read the above output carefully. You will be asked what to do next to get Linuxbrew working properly. You must perform those steps before using Linuxbrew. Check the bold lines in the above output. Run those commands one by one to add Linuxbrew to the PATH as shown below.
Finally run the following command to update the changes.
And, install gcc which is recommended to use Linuxbrew without any issues. To do so, run:
Again, you shouldn’t run this command as root user. Perform all these commands as a normal user. As you’ve seen in the commands, we haven’t used root privileges anywhere. All packages and applications will be installed in your $HOME folder, so you don’t need root privileges.
Finally, run the following command to ensure Linuxbrew is installed and working properly:
If you see an output like below, Linuxbrew is working!

It’s simple as that. The one good thing I noticed while testing Linuxbrew package manager is it will show you an alternative command if a particular package is not available. Look at the following example.
As you see in the below output, there is no available formula with the name “rsync”. So, It displayed an alternative command at the end of the output to install rsync.
So, I ran the following command to install rsync:
