I tried using
brew install yarn#1.7.0 --without-node
or
brew install yarn#1.7.x --without-node
But I get the following error

I presume its possible to install different versions of yarn using brew ?
I had the same issue and wanted to install yarn via brew for various reasons. Honestly the only way is to use the actual link to the yarn.rb file in the Homebrew Repo for the version you want. The easiest way to find the .rb file through git is to check out the PRs in Git for yarn in the homebrew repo.
Before doing this though, run brew unlink yarn in order to allow an older version to be installed while keeping the newest version.
Then look up the PR of the version you want, here's a link to make your life easier.
Click the version you want and go to Files Changed tab. Click on View File button. Then click on Raw button and then copy the URL of this raw file
After you get that link, type in your terminal brew install [link] and you should be set
You can then use brew list --versions yarn to check your installed versions and brew switch to switch versions. You should have both the latest version you previously had installed and the version you just installed.
Some of the above answers don't seem to work anymore. Here is how I was able to install a specific version in April 2021:
brew unlink yarn#1.6.0 (If you already have a version installed)
brew extract --version 1.22.4 yarn homebrew/cask
brew install yarn#1.22.4
yarn -v
You can also use yvm, a yarn version manager instead of homebrew to install a specific or multiple versions of yarn
https://yvm.js.org/docs/overview
Enables easy switching between yarn versions, like nvm does for node
Hope this works for you guys.
To reinstall run below.
// Note:(updating homebrew) for Mac users.
brew install -g yarn
if yarn is still not found
brew reinstall yarn
As per official github page https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/599 you should use "brew install -g yarn" to install yarn using brew.
PS: I've installed Xcode and gcc before running above command as i ran into few issues when executed above command.
You could also use yarn policies set-version <version>, but it has a caveat; it will "check in your Yarn release within your repository. Once you run it, your configuration will be updated in such a way that anyone running a Yarn command inside the project will always use the version you set - and this transparently."
You might not want to have the Yarn release in your repository.

I have tried all the alternative ways to install jenkins on my macbook air but with no lack. I will appreciate anyone with the current solution to this.
This is the error message I get after running brew install jenkins:
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula or cask with the name "jenkins".
It was migrated from homebrew/cask to homebrew/core.
I also get a "fata" message
fatal: Needed a single revision
I am very knew to Jenkins and trying to learn usage.
enter image description here
brew doctor
then
Homebrew/homebrew-core was not tapped properly! Run:
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
then
brew install jenkins-lts
Run this command in terminal:
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
Then try:
brew install jenkins
It works
Have a look on this page : https://www.jenkins.io/download/lts/macos/
You must use brew install jenkins-lts to install jenkins.
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.
So I tried to install it according to the directions on couchdb wiki. and I get the following issue
Installing couchdb dependency: erlang-r15
==> Downloading https://github.com/erlang/otp/archive/OTP_R15B03-1.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/erlang-r15-R15B03-1.tar.gz
Error: SHA1 mismatch
Expected: 5ba866722de79956b06966c232490d32bb7ba0a6
Actual: 7843070f5d325f95ef13022fc416b22b6b14120d
Archive: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/erlang-r15-R15B03-1.tar.gz
Is there anyway to tell brew to skip this dependency since I have already installed the correct version of erlang, and it can't see it?
Did you try brew uninstall couchdb and re install after?
I had the same issue, it fixed it for me
So to get this working I followed the instruction on the couchdb until the install couchdb command:
brew remove --force openssl erlang couchdb icu4c spidermonkey nspr
brew update
brew outdated
brew rm --force erlang
cd /usr/local
git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb
brew install erlang
since I knew I had the right erlang installed I altered the Bew formula to make it work correctly.
So I headed over to the formula at
vim /usr/local/Library/Formula/couchdb.rb
And altered the dependency line
depends_on 'erlang-15'
to
depends_on 'erlang'
and works great now!!
None of the solutions here worked for me, but the below did. Note, I had to build with unixodbc.
brew remove --force openssl erlang couchdb icu4c spidermonkey
brew update
brew install unixodbc
brew install homebrew/versions/erlang-r15 --with-unixodbc
# edit /usr/local/Library/Formula/couchdb.rb to change depends_on to 'erlang-r15'
brew install couchdb
You may want to first try force removing only erlang and couchdb -- as someone in this thread mentioned that force removing packages messed up his system (though I did not encounter this problem when running the above instructions).
I have a few kegs of the same package in /usr/local/Cellar/libfoo like /usr/local/Cellar/libfoo/1.0.1, /usr/local/Cellar/libfoo/HEAD and /usr/local/Cellar/libfoo/mycopy
How can I brew link to a specific version?
This is probably the best way as of 11.1.2022:
To install a specific version, e.g. postgresql 9.5 you simply run:
$ brew install postgresql#9.5
To list the available versions run a search with #:
$ brew search postgresql#
==> Formulae
postgresql postgresql#11 postgresql#13 postgresql#9.5 qt-postgresql
postgresql#10 postgresql#12 postgresql#9.4 postgresql#9.6 postgrest
==> Casks
navicat-for-postgresql
DEPRECATED in Homebrew 2.6.0 (December 2020):
The usage info:
Usage: brew switch <formula> <version>
Example:
brew switch mysql 5.5.29
You can find the versions installed on your system with info.
brew info mysql
And to see the available versions to install, you can provide a dud version number, as brew will helpfully respond with the available version numbers:
brew switch mysql 0
Update (15.10.2014):
The brew versions command has been removed from brew, but, if you do wish to use this command first run brew tap homebrew/boneyard.
The recommended way to install an old version is to install from the homebrew/versions repo as follows:
$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew install mysql55
For detailed info on all the ways to install an older version of a formula read this answer.
Sadly brew switch is deprecated in Homebrew 2.6.0 (December 2020)
$ brew switch
Error: Unknown command: switch
TLDR, to switch to package version 10:
brew unlink package
brew link package#10
To use another version of a package, for example node:
First, ensure that the specific version is installed using brew list. My package here is node (16) and node#14.
➜ ~ brew list
==> Formulae
node
node#14
➜ ~ node -v
v16.1.0
Unlink the current package: brew unlink node.
➜ ~ brew unlink node
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/node/16.1.0... 7 symlinks removed.
Link the correct version
➜ ~ brew link node#14
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/node#14/14.16.1_1... 3857 symlinks created.
If you need to have this software first in your PATH instead consider running:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/node#14/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
➜ ~ node -v
v14.16.1
Homebrew removed brew switch subcommand in Homebrew 2.6.0. Get it back from here.
brew tap laggardkernel/tap
brew switch --help
name#version formula
There's mainly two ways to switch to an old version of an app.
If it's a bigger version change. Homebrew may have created a versioned package in the repo. Like go, go#1.10, they are two different formulae, installed into two different locations.
# install the old one
brew install go#1.10
# link the executable into /usr/local/bin, or /opt/homebrew/bin
brew link --overwrite --force go#1.10
brew switch
But not every package has a versioned variant. If you just upgraded to the new version and the old one is still in your system, skip step 1, 2.
In this situation, search in the homebrew-core repo and download the specific formula. e.g. mysql 8.0.23
Download the raw file, and install from it brew install /path/to/downloaded/mysql.rb.
Now both the latest and the old 8.0.23 (same formula mysql) exist, switch (link out) the old version with brew switch mysql 8.0.23
brew info mysql will list all the old version still exist.
Step 1, 2 could be replaced by brew extract, but that requires user maintain its own tap. I won't cover it here, just search it if you're interested.
If you have installed, for example, php 5.4 it could be switched in the following way to php 5.5:
$ php --version
PHP 5.4.32 (cli) (built: Aug 26 2014 15:14:01)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
$ brew unlink php54
$ brew switch php55 5.5.16
$ php --version
PHP 5.5.16 (cli) (built: Sep 9 2014 14:27:18)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
brew switch libfoo mycopy
You can use brew switch to switch between versions of the same package, if it's installed as versioned subdirectories under Cellar/<packagename>/
This will list versions installed ( for example I had Cellar/sdl2/2.0.3, I've compiled into Cellar/sdl2/2.0.4)
brew info sdl2
Then to switch between them
brew switch sdl2 2.0.4
brew info
Info now shows * next to the 2.0.4
To install under Cellar/<packagename>/<version> from source you can do for example
cd ~/somewhere/src/foo-2.0.4
./configure --prefix $(brew --Cellar)/foo/2.0.4
make
check where it gets installed with
make install -n
if all looks correct
make install
Then from cd $(brew --Cellar) do the switch between version.
I'm using brew version 0.9.5
In case brew switch produces an error (in this example trying to switch to node version 14):
> brew switch node 14
Error: Calling `brew switch` is disabled! Use `brew link` #-versioned formulae instead.
The correct way switching versions would be :
> brew link --overwrite node#14
if #simon's answer is not working in some of the mac's please follow the below process.
If you have already installed swiftgen using the following commands:
$ brew update
$ brew install swiftgen
then follow the steps below in order to run swiftgen with older version.
Step 1: brew uninstall swiftgen
Step 2: Navigate to: https://github.com/SwiftGen/SwiftGen/releases
and download the swiftgen with version: swiftgen-4.2.0.zip.
Unzip the package in any of the directories.
Step 3:
Execute the following in a terminal:
$ mkdir -p ~/dependencies/swiftgen
$ cp -R ~/<your_directory_name>/swiftgen-4.2.0/ ~/dependencies/swiftgen
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ln -s ~/dependencies/swiftgen/bin/swiftgen swiftgen
$ mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/SwiftGen
$ ln -s ~/dependencies/swiftgen/templates/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/SwiftGen/
$ swiftgen --version
You should get: SwiftGen v0.0 (Stencil v0.8.0, StencilSwiftKit v1.0.0, SwiftGenKit v1.0.1)
Is it possible to run in a verbose mode where it doesn't actually install the package, but just details from where and how it will be install the package?
You can run brew outdated to see a list of outdated packages that will be upgraded when running brew upgrade.
The closest you'll find is to show the dependencies of the package you're trying to install:
$ brew deps ruby
Will list the packages of ruby. You can then use:
$ brew list
to see which packages you have installed. From these two commands, you will be able to tell which packages will be installed by brew install ruby
I've used gentoo linux quite a bit in the past, and their portage system has a nice 'pretend' option for installing packages, the closest I've found for brew is:
brew list (package name)
brew list ruby gives me:
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.2-p0/bin/tilt
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.2-p0/bin/testrb
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.2-p0/bin/ruby
