It’s a straightforward process to install brew on centos9. Here is how. First you will want to create a user with sudo. <\/p>\n\n\n
\nadduser github\nvisudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThen you will want to add something like;<\/p>\n\n\n
\ngithub ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nIf you want to authenticate maunally when running sudo commands, which might be important in stricter security setups remove the NOPASSWD: section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the brew official site<\/a> you’ll usually find the oneliner install for brew;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\/bin\/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Homebrew\/install\/HEAD\/install.sh)"\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nIf you are like me, you will want to inspect something before piping it to bash, or better wget the file yourself to do so;<\/p>\n\n\n
\ncurl https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Homebrew\/install\/HEAD\/install.sh\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n[github@localhost github]# brew
bash: brew: command not found\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\nSimply create an alias for the brew binary or alternatively append the new path for brew to your existing shell $PATH variable like so;<\/p>\n\n\n
\n echo >> \/home\/github\/.bashrc\n echo 'eval "$(\/home\/linuxbrew\/.linuxbrew\/bin\/brew shellenv)"' >> \/home\/github\/.bashrc\n eval "$(\/home\/linuxbrew\/.linuxbrew\/bin\/brew shellenv)"\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThe .bashrc file is used to execute commands on user login, and is triggered by the su switch or sshd\/pamd. you can check your linuxbrew binary path has been added afterwards by typing ‘brew’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course you can add the PATH the old fashioned way in .bash_profile instead if you don’t want to use eval to alias the brew binary; remember adding the whole path means any binaries can be executed there so be mindful of whether you need really need a path export.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nexport PATH="\/home\/linuxbrew\/.linuxbrew\/bin\/:$PATH"<br>\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nIt’s pretty simple, in my case I’m installing brew so I can access the github api, which allows a lot more flexibility of the commands I can run compared to the traditional github binary most people use.
Lets install the ‘github gh’ tool for github api like so;<\/p>\n\n\n
\nbrew install gh\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nFor a successful installation of brew and its toolsets you may also require the development tools group package available on centos9 stream;<\/p>\n\n\n
\nsudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nPretty simples. But handy if your are using an operating system like centos 9 stream which simply doesn’t have a safe official repo like redhat or debian operating systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
