Along with Hackbraten's answer — I don't know if this would be more or less work for you but would a per-user Homebrew installation help? I don't have any multi-user machines but for years I've kept my Homebrew installation in ~/Homebrew, where I have complete ownership of it. (Really you can install Homebrew in any directory) Or would the space/compilation cost be prohibitive?
Not a Homebrew maintainer, just a satisfied user.
- Hackbraten 6y agoOn macOS, one major drawback is that if you use a non-standard installation directory for Homebrew, you can no longer install binary packages and everything is compiled from source. If you can live with that, you should be fine though.
- _rend 6y agoNot anymore, right? I've noticed that recently, many formula which don't longer require `/usr/local` specifically actually install from bottles, which has been neat.
- Hackbraten 6y agoThat’s correct. A major part of formulae is still not relocatable though.
