solved Homebrew install failed: please install manually …

[Tekl]

When I launch the Dependency Manager, it always asks me to install Homebrew manually. I already did this. In the first step, I wanted Alfred to install Homebrew for me, but it failed. Now it always shows `Homebrew install failed: please install manually from https://brew.sh/`.

 

My workflows using Homebrew and Tools are running fine, but it would be great to get the Dependency Manager working again.

 

I uninstalled Homebrew this morning for some tests. Before this, Alfred worked well. I'm running macOS 14 first Dev beta on Apple Silicon. Maybe that's causing the problem.

 

How does Alfred try to detect if Homebrew is installed?

Where have you installed Homebrew to? Did you use the official script or did you install to an alternative location? What were your exact steps?

Are you on Apple Silicon? What’s the output of /opt/homebrew/bin/brew --version?

[Tekl]

Yes, I'm on Apple Silicon. I've installed Homebrew with the command from brew.sh as it was suggested by Alfred.

 

 

% /opt/homebrew/bin/brew --version
Homebrew 4.0.23

How did you install the Xcode Developer Tools, required by Homebrew? I tried it earlier and that failed. What’s the output of xcode-select --print-path?

[Tekl]

The DevTools were already installed, I reinstalled them with the download from Apples Website (Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_15_beta.dmg).

 

The output didn't change:

% xcode-select --print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

 

Well, after two reboots it seems to work now. Strange.
