#:  * `diy` [`--name=`<name>] [`--version=`<version>]:
#:    Automatically determine the installation prefix for non-Homebrew software.
#:
#:    Using the output from this command, you can install your own software into
#:    the Cellar and then link it into Homebrew's prefix with `brew link`.
#:
#:    The options `--name=`<name> and `--version=`<version> each take an argument
#:    and allow you to explicitly set the name and version of the package you are
#:    installing.

      The detected name #{detected_name.inspect} exists in Homebrew as an alias
      of #{canonical_name.inspect}. Consider using the canonical name instead:
        brew diy --name=#{canonical_name}

      To continue using the detected name, pass it explicitly:
        brew diy --name=#{detected_name}
