Can't install TBB using Homebrew on MacOS - macos

I have been trying to install TBB using Homebrew on my MacOS Ventura Hackintosh (AMD) and I have been unable to even install anything using Homebrew. Here's the output of running brew install tbb sam#adsl ~ % brew install tbb Warning: No available formula with the name "tbb". ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)... Error: No previously deleted formula found. ==> Searching taps on GitHub... Error: No formulae found in taps.
Any tips? Thanks!

Your brew installation seems corrupt.
Run these commands to resolve and fix issue:
% brew update
% brew upgrade
% brew doctor
Doctor can report a number of warnings:
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
You may wish to link these or uninstall these.
Warning: /usr/bin occurs before /opt/homebrew/bin in your PATH.
You may wish to modify your PATH to put homebrew first.

you seemed to join a WiiU Homebrew discord for help, but imma still try to help you with your issue.
Does brew install boost#1.79 work for you?
If it still returns the same Issue, please try following things:
brew update after that, try installing boost again.
(Only do if #1 didnt work) brew update-reset
after that try installing boost again.
[Note: this will destroy all your uncommitted or committed changes in any Homebrew repository]
(do this if the other 2 failed) git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout -- Formula/boost.rb followed by trying to install boost again.
Hope this helps
Apparently rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core; brew update fixed it!

brew install lua#5.1: "No available formula for the name "Lua#5.1""

Installing Lua#5.1 using brew install lua#5.1 (as stated in the website)

Unable to install wget

My MacBook Air was equipped with macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6.
I cannot install wget even if I have checked brew version.
brew --version
The output is :
Homebrew 3.3.13
Homebrew/homebrew-core (no Git repository)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision fb6ec06d8b; last commit 2022-01-31)
When I tried to install wget:
brew install wget
This is the result:
Warning: No available formula with the name "ca-certificates".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Running `brew update --preinstall`...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...

==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
This problem has bothered me for a long while...
Eventually, I solved this problem by running the following code:
brew update-reset
brew install wget
I hoped this may help others.
Problem could be 'Homebrew/homebrew-core not tapped properly'. Executing these two commands resolved the issue for me.
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core

Brew Install Trouble

I'm struggling to brew install minikube. I don't have any version, but need an older version. I'm trying the familiar way, but get an error:
~ brew install minikube#1.18.1
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula or cask with the name "minikube#1.18.1".
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
I've tried to do a bit of homework, but still errors:
~ brew install https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/8d37c361ee69503961a3010e7896f6ecf8d3a059/Formula/minikube.rb
Updating Homebrew...
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core).
==> Updated Formulae
Updated 16 formulae.
Traceback (most recent call last):
`brew extract` or `brew create` and `brew tap-new` to create a formula file in a tap on GitHub instead.: Invalid usage: Non-checksummed download of minikube formula file from an arbitrary URL is unsupported! (UsageError)
`brew extract` or `brew create` and `brew tap-new` to create a formula file in a tap on GitHub instead.: Invalid usage: Non-checksummed download of minikube formula file from an arbitrary URL is unsupported! (UsageError)
This must be elementary, but I can't seem to figure this out :(
$brew update-reset
This helped me with the error.
Brew only does creates separate versions for certain formula, and its mostly only the larger ones where they might provide different versions due to backward compatibility and stuff.
You might have some luck with the answers in this question Homebrew install specific version of formula?.
Before running:
brew install https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/8d37c361ee69503961a3010e7896f6ecf8d3a059/Formula/minikube.rb
you should execute:
brew unlink minikube
That way you will remove the old minikube links and link the newly installed binary.
If that's still not working than try running:
wget https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/8d37c361ee69503961a3010e7896f6ecf8d3a059/Formula/minikube.rb
followed by:
brew install --HEAD -s minikube.rb
I think first you can try to run 'brew install minikube' only, see if you can successfully install it or not. If no error then it's probably your version issue. If still has Error then that might be your local home-brew issues, then you can Try to run 'brew doctor', based on the warning and Error info search in stackoverflow you probably will find out the answer.

Brew Error "unknown regexp options - har" in automake.rb:29 trying to install watchman

I am trying to install watchman on macOS according to the official docs via homebrew.
I am getting the following error:
❯ brew install watchman
Error: automake:
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/automake.rb:29:
unknown regexp options - har
==> Searching for similarly named formulae... This similarly named formula was found: automake To install it, run: brew install
automake
==> Searching taps... Error: No formulae found in taps.
I did run brew update before that. Also, I did run brew install automake. Neither helped.
Question: What seems to be the problem here? Am I missing dependencies?
