Homebrew¶
What is Homebrew?¶
Note
Any package that requires root privileges will either need a rootful Distrobox container or has to be layered with rpm-ostree.
Homebrew is a package manager that installs packages into their own prefix. It is primarily used for command-line interface (CLI) and terminal user interface (TUI) applications. Homebrew can also install graphical applications using the --cask flag, but most are for macOS as support for casks on Linux is still developing. Use the Bold Brew application or the terminal using the command below to install packages.
Install packages in a host terminal with this terminal command:
brew install <package>
Note
For multiple user or atypical setups only: Root privileges (sudo) will be required to install Homebrew packages because it uses the linuxbrew user to install them.
Bold Brew¶
The Bold Brew application offers a terminal user interface (TUI) for installing common Homebrew packages.
