I try to install boost using homebrew, and when i try, this happens:
admin:~ Admin$ brew install boost
Warning: No available formula with the name "boost".
==> 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.
Specifing version doesnt help either:
```bash
admin:~ Admin$ brew install boost#1.58
Warning: No available formula with the name "boost#1.58".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...

Error: No formulae found in taps.
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 coreutils fixed it for me
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.

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
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.
I am trying to install hadoop using $brew install hadoop but it shows the following:
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula or cask with the name "hadoop".
==> 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 tried searching for it with $ brew search hadoop
But it says
Error: No formulae or casks found for "hadoop".
*My homebrew is already installed (in that I successfully type $brew help
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance
Try brew update first.
If the problem persists, please share the output for brew doctor
