Homebrew-versions
These formulae provide multiple versions of existing packages, or newer versions of packages that are too incompatible to go in Homebrew/homebrew yet (Such as GnuPG21).
How do I install these formulae?
Just brew tap homebrew/versions and then brew install <formula>.
If the formula conflicts with one from Homebrew/homebrew or another tap, you can brew install homebrew/versions/<formula>.
You can also install via URL:
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/<formula>.rb
Acceptable Formulae.
You can read Homebrew’s Acceptable Formulae document here. There are some differences between Homebrew/homebrew and here:
- Versions formulae cannot have head or devel sections.
- Versions formulae can depend on other versions formulae.
- Please remove any existing bottle block in your formula prior to submission.
- If copied from Homebrew/homebrew prior formulae please remove any deprecated options and fix any issues raised by
brew audit —strict.

First, please run brew update and brew doctor.
