For recent versions of Homebrew, Jethro’ instructions below may not work work, because we will get an error like:
Invalid usage: Non-checksummed download of <FORMULA_NAME> formula file from an arbitrary URL is unsupported.
I found a workaround:
- Go to the Homebrew Cask search page: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/
- Type and find the application you are looking for
- Click
Cask codelink - On Github click
Historybutton - Find the version you need by reading the commit messages and view the raw file. Confirm the version variable (normally on line 2) is the version you need.
- Click on the
name of the commit, thenthree dotsand selectView file - Right-click
Rawbutton andSave Link As...to download the file locally - When downloaded, go to download directory
cd Downloads/ - Finally run
brew install --cask <FORMULA_NAME>.rb - Voilà 😄
