I am trying to install a specific version of Buck using Homebrew. Facebook provide a formula on GitHub .
I have added the tap:
brew tap facebook/fb
I can then install Buck using:
brew install --HEAD facebook/fb/buck
However, I would like to install a specific release, for example v2017.05.02.01 .
What is the syntax for installing a specific release from GitHub?
I am looking for something like:
# This does not work!
brew install --v2017.05.02.01 facebook/fb/buck
*Note: other questions do not seem to be about releases on GitHub.*
