When installing packages on CentOS you usually have to hunt down all sorts of repositories; with Homebrew that hassle goes away. This article uses CentOS 7.6 — other system versions may differ.
1. Create a Non-root User
Homebrew refuses to run as root, so a new user has to be created.
- Add a user
- Set a password
- Grant the new user sudo privileges
Edit the privilege configuration file:
1
2
| chmod +w /etc/sudoers
vi /etc/sudoers
|
Add the following
1
| shaowenchen ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
|
Restore the file permissions
2.1 Install the Necessary Base Software
This article installs Homebrew 3.0.9, and the official documentation describes the following dependencies:
* GCC 4.7.0 or newer
* Linux 2.6.32 or newer
* Glibc 2.13 or newer
* 64-bit x86_64 CPU
The GCC check can be skipped and GCC installed later with Homebrew.

1
2

yum install -y curl file git
|

1
| yum install -y https://packages.endpoint.com/rhel/7/os/x86_64/endpoint-repo-1.7-1.x86_64.rpm
|
Upgrade the version
Check the version
1
2
3
| git --version
git version 2.30.1
|
- Upgrade curl, no lower than 7.41.0
1
| yum install -y http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/yum-repo/city-fan.org-release-2-1.rhel7.noarch.rpm

| vi /etc/yum.repos.d/city-fan.org.repo
[city-fan.org]
...

Install the dependency
1
| yum install -y https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/l/libnghttp2-1.33.0-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm
|
Upgrade the version
Check the version

| curl --version
curl 7.75.0
|
3. Install Homebrew
- Switch to the non-root user
1
| /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
|
- Add the brew command to PATH

| test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
test -r ~/.bash_profile && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.bash_profile
echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile
|
Adding .linuxbrew/bin directly to PATH causes make to fail when installing new tools.

- [Optional] Add brew to Zsh
test -r ~/.zshrc && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.zshrc
4. Usage
I previously wrote “Using Homebrew”, which covers some common commands, so I will not repeat them here. I will just install a few common tools as a test.
