I have manually downloaded the latest python upgrade - 3.9.6, however when I check the version of python on my terminal (iMac - big Sur):

-iMac ~ % python --version
Python 3.8.8

However, when I try to upgrade my python using home-brew:

~ % brew upgrade python
Warning: python 3.9.5 already installed

I seem to not have the one that I downloaded - python 3.9.6. Is there a way to remove these other python languages i.e. 3.8.8, 3.9.5 and just keeping the latest python 3.9.6?

I'm having issues with zparseopts and it looks like Brew didn't install it correctly. See this simple test below (all similar tests fail):

❯ short_test_zpo() {
  autoload -Uz zparseopts || { echo "🔴 Autoload FAILED"; return 1; }
  local my_flag
  zparseopts -E -- f=my_flag -- "$@" # Use "$@" to pass args from func call
  if (( ${#my_flag[@]} )); then
    echo "✅ zparseopts PARSED the -f flag."
    echo "   Remaining args: $@"
  else
    echo "❌ zparseopts DID NOT parse the -f flag (or -f was not given)."
    echo "   Remaining args: $@"
  fi
}


❯ short_test_zpo some arg
short_test_zpo:3: zparseopts: function definition file not found
❌ zparseopts DID NOT parse the -f flag (or -f was not given).
   Remaining args: some arg

I read online that perhaps zparseopts is expected to be under functions, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me:

❯ ls -l $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/functions/zparseopts

ls: /opt/homebrew/share/zsh/functions/zparseopts: No such file or directory

Reinstalling zsh works successfully (see the trace below), but does not seem to make a difference:

The title largely says it. Most of my auto-completion is working, but git is not. It does not complete commands, e.g. git check, nor does it complete branches, e.g. git checkout ge. It used to until at most a few weeks ago (no idea what changed). Other completions, such as filenames and directories and commands, work fine. macOS, git installed via homebrew, zsh with oh-my-zsh, lots of common (i.e. bash and zsh) commands in ~/.common_profile, which is sourced by both ~/.zshrc and ~/.bashrc. It is not that disabling it, as I tried commenting it out. I have both git and gitfast plugins enabled. The git plugin aliases seem to be working fine. I can run ^X? to get a dump, but no idea how to interpret the dump. UPDATE 1: I switched from the default macOS zsh (5.8) to the one installed via homebrew (5.9) and now it works. But I still want to understand why it failed. UPDATE 2: As suggested by Gilles in the comments, I posted the debug output. See this gist .

I installed the package using brew install as indicated in READ.me with no caveats, then installed rust because it was a missing dependency, and the command tlrc is not recognised still. Here's the output of brew info and use of the command:

I am trying to flesh-out a mental model of Python environments for my MacBook (MacOS Ventura 12.x). I am aware of venv (virtual environments) and that it serves to prevent updates from changing the venv python3 version and its venv modules (separate configuration management). My Mac is outfitted with homebrew: 1) /usr/bin/python3 -V1 returns the **Xcode** Python version: 3.9.6 2) python3 --version or python3 -V returns "Python 3.10.8" 3) brew list | grep python returns: python-packaging python@3.10 python@3.11 python@3.12 python@3.13 mysql-connector-python 4. which python3 returns /usr/local/bin/python3 (Xcode python I presume) 5. brew install python returns: Warning: python@3.13 3.13.1 is already installed, it's just **not linke**d. To link this version, run: brew link python@3.13 Does the Xcode python and homebrew python share the same environment / space or are they somehow separate? If they are separate, how is toggling between the two performed? I ask because I would like to install the pyserial module so that I do not have to use it in a venv and use it with either the Xcode OR the homebrew python (preferable).

I'm trying to update bash shell on my Mac OS Mavericks. $ brew install bash $ which -a bash /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/bash $ which bash /bin/bash $ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash $ which bash /bin/bash In Terminal's preference: Shells open with -> Command (complete path) : /usr/local/bin/bash. But still, I cannot switch to brew-installed bash shell. What can I do?

Homebrew requires us to add eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv) to ~/.zprofile. What does this actually evaluate to and what does this accomplish? I am a bit new to shell scripting. I know $var is used to refer to a variable named var but that's about it. What is the meaning of putting a path inside of $()? Also is shellenv an argument here and what does it signify?

I am connecting with ssh from a Mac to a Ubuntu machine with Homebrew installed (as per [these](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux) instructions). When using the Ubuntu machine directly, brew works fine. But with ssh, I get the the message zsh: command not found: brew. I am using zsh with oh-my-zsh on both machines. The PATH variable when I connect using ssh is not the same (doesn't have many of the locations, including the one for brew) as when I'm using the machine directly. I suspect the problem may be the one mentioned [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/543157/brew-is-not-found-when-i-sshpass-to-the-server) , but I couldn't quite figure out what the solution is. Would be of very useful to know how to get the same path as on the machine when connecting via ssh. Thanks.

I run a fairly stock .zshrc configuration. Stock meaning only a couple of aliases and a theme. But every time I open my .zshrc, I see several appended lines that all say this:

One of my systems that I still use a lot runs a kind of "Frankenbuntu" 14.04 that has received lots of additional updates via PPAs and software I build and install to /opt/local (using an adapted version of the MacPorts ports system for Mac; in fact I have most of my Linux ports installed on Mac too). The library dirs under that prefix aren't added to ldconfig so I rely on the use or rpaths and runtime setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've been using clang 8 as my main compiler (newest version that was once provided through LLVM repos) because it's a bit faster and probably more capable than the latest GCC available from Ubuntu (9.4.0). I've built clang 12 myself (an extremely boring exercise in patience!) but just read that you really need clang 17 to get proper c++20 support . Or GCC 12. I happen to have a port for GCC 12 too, but I've run into troubles before installing GCC (7) under /opt/local, issues that had to do with mixing libstdc++ runtimes. Those *may* have been due to the fact that the OS already had (or got updated to) a newer libstdc++ (the one from GCC 9.4.0), and a similar situation is not going occur again. Not until I upgrade the OS at least. Still, I'd like to ask about some up-to-date best-practises and a succinct overview of the pitfalls (the ones less evident for someone who's been installing to and running from a parallel prefix for years). Are there any known incompatibilities between libstdc++ 9.4.0 and 12.3.0? Or the libstdc++ from 13.2.0 which is the one I have installed on my Mac? Thanks in advance! In reaction to the first couple of comments: - I'm a retro-computing "fan". - I know my OS is old and no longer supported. I have reasons to keep it at this version on this particular machine, and am really not looking for further suggestions that it would only take XX minutes to upgrade. I know from experience it'll take a lot more, the system is likely to be unstable until I at least downgrade to a known-compatible kernel (4.14.328 ATM) and in the meantime I won't be able to use it for anything useful. Just building GCC for my parallel prefix will take maybe 5h and will be perfectly reversible (MacPorts has a very handy de/activation feature - I am also aware that libstdc++ isn't forward ABI compatible but that it is at least intended to be *backwards* ABI compatible: > apt contains /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++6:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 > apt show libstdc++6 Package: libstdc++6 State: installed Automatically installed: no Multi-Arch: same Version: 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~14.04 The libstdc++ version installed by port:libgcc13 on my Mac: > otool -L /opt/local/lib/libgcc/libstdc++.6.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgcc/libstdc++.6.dylib: /opt/local/lib/libgcc/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.32.0) Same SOVERSION (6), also apparent from the more tighly controlled baked-in versioning numbers of the dylib. I interpret this as indicating that libstdc++ v13.2.0 is *supposed to be* a drop-in replacement for the one I currently have, just as that one was a drop-in replacement for the earlier versions that are still available for 14.04: > aptitude versions libstdc++6:amd64 Package libstdc++6: p 4.8.2-19ubuntu1 trusty 500 p 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4 trusty-security,trusty-updates 500 i 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~14.04 trusty 500 My question about known incompatibilities and/or issues was thus meant to be read with in the context of the intended backwards compatibility. I have already discovered that GCC 13 no longer provides std::auto_ptr even in C++03 mode where it really ought to be present (but not if that's because of a build configuration thing).

I tried this, I'll keep the list short:

IFS=$'\n'

pkgs=(
  go
  gcc
  make
  node
) 

installPkgs() {
   brew install $1
}

export -f installPkgs

parallel -j 0 installPkgs ::: ${pkgs[@]}

This didn't work as when I typed node I got 'command not found'. I know you can do:

brew install \
  go         \
  gcc        \
  make       \
  node

But this a sequential install, is it possible to do a simultaneous or async install?

I have macOS Monterey(v12.3) and had installed brew with exact guidelines shown in youtube videos. But brew commands work only if I run in the same terminal session. When I restart the terminal and try to run the brew command it shows the following error: zsh: command not found: brew I have tried to install the brew multiple time but every time same thing happens. I am new to MacOS. Please help.

I am trying to automate adding Homebrew to my path in a shell script, but these two lines do not evaluate inside my shell script:

#!/bin/sh
eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

The second line of code runs the program [home]brew with [the argument shellenv](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/cmd/shellenv.sh) . It echoes several environment variables to set which are then evaluated. The first line just adds the second line to my ~/.profile so brew's PATH is setup in every shell. I noticed that this statement does not work in my shell script, ***but*** it does when I type it into my terminal. What might be causing this? I tried running the commands I was instructed to run after Homebrew installed in a shell script and got the same behavior. **similar question:** - [problem with homebrew installation path on linux](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/713835/problem-with-homebrew-installation-path-on-linux)

I am trying to setup a 2 user Homebrew configuration on my M1 Mac on Monterey. I have 2 accounts on the laptop: bob and work. bob will be the Homebrew owner, and work will access it via a sudo to bob. Following [this article](https://www.codejam.info/2021/11/homebrew-multi-user.html) , under sectiion "the good", I have installed homebrew into bob and have created a sudo alias in the .zshrc of work, my .zshrc contains

fpath+=("/opt/homebrew/share/zsh/site-functions")
alias brew='sudo -Hu bob brew'

However, when I run brew commands from work it is not working.
