I would like to install 2.6.X but cannot find documentation on how to specify a formula version. Brew is only installing the latest version of the formula.
I'm using the following versions of brew
Homebrew 1.8.6
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 5ea559; last commit 2018-12-18)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 4144b74; last commit 2018-12-18)
I'm upgrading from 2.2.1 and want to be pinned to 2.6.X
ls /usr/local/Cellar/ansible
2.2.1.0_2 2.3.1.0 2.7.5
brew search ansible
==> Formulae
ansible ✔ ansible-cmdb
ansible-lint [email protected]
[email protected] terraform-provisioner-ansible
==> Casks
ansible-dk
brew install ansible
ansible --version
ansible 2.7.5
If someone could point me to the correct docs at https://docs.brew.sh/ to both list all available versions and to install specific versions that would be awesome.
Go to the directory containing formulas:
cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula
Look at the history of the ansible formula
git log -- ansible.rb
Select the commit where the version you are interested in is and checkout this formula:
git checkout f9466d14ee6e9fa7a -- ansible.rb
Install that formula:
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install ansible
Check the installation of ansible:
ansible --version
Pin this version of the formula to avoid upgrade
brew pin ansible
That's it, an I'm not sure that this is in the documentation.
