As the name of the tap suggests, you should probably only do this as a last resort. As of October 2014, you have to do a brew tap homebrew/boneyard before you can use it. However, we need to find a way to get to a commit where the old version was available.īetween August 2011 and October 2014, homebrew had a brew versions command, which spat out all available versions with their respective SHA hashes.

Since the whole formula directory is a git repository, one can install specific versions using plain git commands.

Homebrew yabai download#

Due to changed dependencies, API changes in the formula spec or simply a change in the download URL, things may or may not work. Both try to resurrect some undead formula from the brew repository. The following approaches are listed mostly for completeness. (Check with brew tap, remove with brew untap homebrew/versions.) The following would have been equivalent: $ brew tap homebrew/versionsĪs long as the backported version formulae stay up-to-date, this approach is probably the best way to deal with older software. Note that this has automatically tapped the homebrew/versions tap. We can simply install it by typing $ brew install homebrew/versions/postgresql8Ĭloning into '/usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew-versions'. Homebrew/versions/postgresql9 homebrew/versions/postgresql92 Homebrew/versions/postgresql8 homebrew/versions/postgresql91

(Mostly only the large and famous ones, but of course they’ll also have several formulae for postgresql.)īrew search postgresql will show you where to look: $ brew search postgresql That versions repository may include backports of older versions for several formulae. As of March 2012, Homebrew 0.9 provides a mechanism for this: brew tap & the homebrew versions repository.

2) Check, whether the version is available as a tapĮspecially for larger software projects, it is very probably that there is a high enough demand for several (potentially API incompatible) major versions of a certain piece of software.

Therefore, using brew switch is mostly useful when one wants to switch between two versions not too far apart. In some cases, a rebuild of the older version may become necessary. (*) Please note that brew switch only works as long as all dependencies of the older version are still around. Note that the star * has moved to the newly activated version Let’s double-check what is activated: $ brew info postgresql We may activate it using brew switch: $ brew switch postgresql 9.1.5Ĭleaning /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.5Ĭleaning /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.2ģ84 links created for /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.5 We see that some older version is already installed. If you want to simply activate that previous version, brew switch is the easiest way to do this.Ĭheck with brew info postgresql (or brew switch postgresql ) whether the older version is installed: $ brew info postgresql If you have been using homebrew for longer and never removed older versions (using, for example brew cleanup), chances are that some older version of your program may still be around. In principle, this makes it pretty easy to switch between two installed versions. Only symbolic links to this folder are then installed globally. When homebrew installs a new formula, it puts it in a versioned directory like /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.1. Let’s start with the simplest case: 1) Check, whether the version is already installed (but not activated)

Feel free to add a note if you found the old version better.) *( I’ve re-edited my answer to give a more thorough workflow for installing/using older software versions with homebrew. I will try to follow the configuration section to find out if my theory holds water.TLDR: brew install See answer below for more details.

I was completely unaware that the there does not seem to be a default config anywhere and I have to add explicit parameters to the config before anything works.

The wikis installation section tells me to add stuff to the config file, which would only be later added, in section Configuration, after Installation.

I did not understand that I seem to be supposed to go though the entire wiki for installation.

Like it doesn't work the way it's supposed to.Įdit: I think I understand what's going on:
