This is how to install Firefox via Homebrew:
brew install --cask firefox
But how to install the 'Firefox Developer edition'?
Everything I tried fails with 'Error: Cask '...' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.'
brew install --cask firefox-developer-edition
brew install --cask firefox-nightly
What's the correct command?
I've finally found a solution.
A lot of commands on the internet were outdated.
These 2 commands worked for me in 2022:
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask firefox-developer-edition
Homebrew Structure Files
If we go to homebrew repo in our Mac: /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew we see some folder like homebrew-core, homebrew-cask, homebrew-cask-fonts these files are what we get when we run :
brew search [formula or cask name]
When we do brew tap homebrew/cask-versions the casks files are cloned to our Homebrew repo. Since that, you may install an alternate cask that was not found before.
For more information, you may found it here.

Shouldn't it tell me what version of Homebrew I have and that it's installed?
I am trying to set up my Homebrew so that I can use it with git. I am trying to do brew install git and brew install git-lfs but I get the below error messages when I try to do that.

To find the installed version, use the -v option.
% brew -v

You will need to reinstall, and make sure it uses /opt/homebrew because you are on an M1.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
There shouldn't be any errors displayed when this runs.

Simply run:
brew uninstall paste
You're getting the error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/pastewhenbrew uninstall Past because there are no brew formulae installed or in the official Homebrew repository named paste.
brew install paste
Error: No available formula with the name "paste"
I guess you've installed it using cask:
brew cask install paste
If you try to uninstall it using brew you'll get that error:
brew uninstall Paste
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/paste
To uninstall paste simply use brew cask instead:
brew cask uninstall paste
I am trying to install rbenv on OS X by following instruction from site link - setup ruby on macbook
when I try brew install rbenv I get below error
Error: rbenv-rbenv already installed To install this version, first 'brew unlink rbenv'
Here is the output from brew doctor
brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
I tried brew unlink rbenv on which fails with message Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv
Please suggest how this can be solved.
I have tried all solutions as listed below
brew update
brew prune
brew link rbenv
nothing really works
This, I was able to solve by thrashing all the junk files and folders related to rbenv still existing in the system; as brew link rbenv wasn't working
Use command below to find any rbenv files/folder still existing in the system.
sudo find /user/ -name "*rbenv*"
most of the issues could be because /usr/local/opt may still have folders related to rbenv
then carefully remove any listed files/folder using command
sudo rm -r <folder-listed-in-result-of-above-command>
then try brew install rbenv, follow any output from this command (which may suggest brew unlink rbenv && brew link rbenv) and you should be good to go.
I do not recommend file/folder thrashing this way as it could be risky however, to be frank, this is only what worked for me.
I'm trying to install bazel on my mac (10.11.5).
I can see that it is available through brew:
http://braumeister.org/formula/bazel
But when I run "brew install bazel", I get this:
Error: No available formula for bazel
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
Why is this?
In my case, Homebrew was already up-to-date after running brew update and I still received the same error messages as the OP when trying to install xdebug:
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
$ brew install php70-xdebug
Error: No available formula with the name "php70-xdebug"
Using Mark's suggestion from the comments on OP solved the problem:
$ brew search xdebug
homebrew/php/xdebug-osx homebrew/php/php70-xdebug
So now, running $ brew install homebrew/php/php70-xdebug, Homebrew found and installed the package.
You should update your brews, because it is indeed available. Run
brew update
brew install bazel
and then it should work.
I installed Homebrew Cask for kicks as described at http://caskroom.io/. It boils down to the following command:
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
$ brew tap caskroom/versions
Homebrew Cask installed and everything was fine. Then I uninstalled Homebrew Cask like so:
$ brew untap caskroom/versions
$ brew uninstall brew-cask
Here are the current taps:
$ brew tap
homebrew/versions
Yet I see stuff from Cask when searching for items that wouldn't be part of Homebrew itself (like Graphical programs, aText, Fantastical etc.):
$ brew search atext
Caskroom/cask/atext
Though it doesn't install (as expected):
$ brew install atext
Error: No available formula for atext
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
Caskroom/cask/atext
So the question is why does brew search Caskroom/cask and how do I get rid of it (I don't want Homebrew telling me it has aText, for example, when it can't install it)?
I am running Mac OS X Yosemite.
For the current version of Brew:
$ brew uninstall --cask yed
For older versions of Brew:
$ brew cask uninstall yed
the result:
==> Removing App symlink: '/Users/user/Applications/yEd.app'
As of Homebrew version 0.9.5, it appears that brew search will find items in Caskroom/cask/ without actually having Homebrew Cask installed. You can also install them, but this will actually install brew-cask as a dependency along the way.
Try:
brew install Caskroom/cask/atext
Command the terminal to "untap" at the prompt [MacOS Catalina 10.15.2]
Run
brew untap homebrew/cask-fonts
Expected output
Untapping homebrew/cask-fonts...
Untapped 1571 casks (1,713 files, 11.4MB)
