# Linuxbrew
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Homebrew package manager may be used on Linux and Windows 10, using [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about). Homebrew is referred to as Linuxbrew when running on Linux or Windows. It can be installed in your home directory, in which case it does not use *sudo*. Linuxbrew does not use any libraries provided by your host system, except *glibc* and *gcc* if they are new enough. Linuxbrew can install its own current versions of *glibc* and *gcc* for older distribution of Linux.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Features](#features), [dependencies](#dependencies) and [installation instructions](#install) are described below. Terminology (e.g. the difference between a Cellar, Tap, Cask and so forth) is [explained in the documentation](Formula-Cookbook.md#homebrew-terminology).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Can install software to your home directory and so does not require *sudo*
|
||
|
+ Install software not packaged by your host distribution
|
||
|
+ Install up-to-date versions of software when your host distribution is old
|
||
|
+ Use the same package manager to manage your macOS, Linux, and Windows systems
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
||
|
Paste at a terminal prompt:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The installation script installs Linuxbrew to `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew` using *sudo* if possible and in your home directory at `~/.linuxbrew` otherwise. Linuxbrew does not use *sudo* after installation. Using `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew` allows the use of more binary packages (bottles) than installing in your personal home directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Follow the *Next steps* instructions to add Linuxbrew to your `PATH` and to your bash shell profile script, either `~/.profile` on Debian/Ubuntu or `~/.bash_profile` on CentOS/Fedora/RedHat.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
|
||
|
test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
|
||
|
test -r ~/.bash_profile && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.bash_profile
|
||
|
echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You're done! Try installing a package:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
brew install hello
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you're using an older distribution of Linux, installing your first package will also install a recent version of `glibc` and `gcc`. Use `brew doctor` to troubleshoot common issues.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Dependencies
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ **GCC** 4.4 or newer
|
||
|
+ **Linux** 2.6.32 or newer
|
||
|
+ **Glibc** 2.12 or newer
|
||
|
+ **64-bit x86** CPU
|
||
|
|
||
|
Paste at a terminal prompt:
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Debian or Ubuntu
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl file git
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Fedora, CentOS, or Red Hat
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' && sudo yum install curl file git
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Raspberry Pi
|
||
|
|
||
|
Linuxbrew can run on Raspberry Pi (32-bit ARM), but no binary packages (bottles) are available. Support for Raspberry Pi is on a best-effort basis. Pull requests are welcome to improve the experience on Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 32-bit x86
|
||
|
|
||
|
Linuxbrew does not currently support 32-bit x86 platforms. It would be possible for Linuxbrew to work on 32-bit x86 platforms with some effort. An interested and dedicated person could maintain a fork of Homebrew to develop support for 32-bit x86.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Alternative Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
Extract or `git clone` Linuxbrew wherever you want. Use `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew` if possible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew ~/.linuxbrew/Homebrew
|
||
|
mkdir ~/.linuxbrew/bin
|
||
|
ln -s ../Homebrew/bin/brew ~/.linuxbrew/bin
|
||
|
eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
|
||
|
```

||
