Usage

This tap publishes one Homebrew formula for each tagged Lupaxa Project tool. Add the tap, install what you need, then use the commands below to list, update, and remove formulae. Worked examples follow. The full command list is at the end.

Setup

Add this tap and trust it.

Requirements

  • Homebrew
  • On Homebrew 7, trust the tap before the first install

Homebrew 7 will not install from a third-party tap until that tap is trusted.

Install

brew tap the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew trust the-lupaxa-project/tap

First Run

List what the tap publishes:

brew tap-info the-lupaxa-project/tap

That lists every formula and marks the ones already installed.

Usage

List Formulae

brew tap-info the-lupaxa-project/tap

That lists every formula in this tap and marks the ones already installed.

Update the Tap

brew update

That fetches the newest formulae for this tap. To install newer versions of formulae you already have:

brew upgrade

If Update Fetch Fails

Tapping this repo before its first commit makes brew update look for a main branch. The tap's branch is master, so the update prints Fetching .../homebrew-tap failed!. Remove the tap and add it again:

brew untap the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew tap the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew trust the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew update

If brew untap fails because that checkout is broken:

rm -rf "$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/the-lupaxa-project/homebrew-tap"
brew tap the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew trust the-lupaxa-project/tap

Examples

Replace <formula> with the formula you want. The other commands assume this tap is already added and trusted.

Install a Formula

brew install <formula>

Repeat brew install for each extra formula.

Inspect Formulae

brew tap-info the-lupaxa-project/tap
brew info <formula>

brew tap-info lists every formula in the tap and marks the ones already installed. brew info shows one formula.

Upgrade a Formula

brew update
brew upgrade <formula>

brew update fetches newer formula definitions. brew upgrade without a name upgrades every outdated formula you already have.

Uninstall a Formula

brew uninstall <formula>

That removes the installed formula. The tap stays in place.

Remove the Tap

brew untap the-lupaxa-project/tap

That removes the tap. Formulae you already installed stay installed.
