why can't I install watchman using brew command?

I'm trying to run a react native app and I've been told I need to download "watchman".
When I tried to run the command brew install watchman it gave this error:
Error: The following formula cannot be installed from bottle and must be
built from source.
python#3.9
Install the Command Line Tools for Xcode 11.3.1 from:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Do I need to install Xcode or I'm just missing something? Is there any easier way to install watchman?
Thank you in advance.
If you don't mind, you can try installing directly from Facebook's Homebrew Tap:
brew tap facebook/fb
brew update
brew install facebook/fb/watchman

how to install ruby-Tk on mac OSX catalina 10.15.4, ruby-2.6.3

Please could anyone help me with the best step by step instruction to install ruby-Tk on mac OSX catalina 10.15.4 running ruby-2.6.3. doing
gem install tk
gives me this error. "Can't find "tk.h". Can't find proper Tcl/Tk libraries. So, can't make tcltklib.so which is required by Ruby/Tk." Thanks
Below guide assumes you have Xcode already installed. If not install it first from the apple app store.
1) Install ActiveTcl for macOS from https://www.activestate.com
under applications/utilities, there will be a new app wish.app. run this app and if you get the wish console to open, then, it installed ok
2) Using your command line do the following
brew install ruby #this will install latest version of ruby
gem install tk
3) then add other ruby gems that you need for your development environment.

pdf2swf not installed through Homebrew – but the rest of swftools are

Environment OSX 10.9.5
I am trying to install swftools so that I can use pdf2swf. I am installing through HomeBrew. I've seen various notes about pdf2swf failing to install if its dependencies have not been previously installed. So using the command at the link I use:
$ brew install freetype libjpeg giflib swftools
And it completes without error – except pdf2swf is not installed. When I look in usr/local/bin, I see the other swftools are installed successfully.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Update: For completeness if anyone comes across this question looking to use pdf2swf in an AIR desktop app: you can't. Apparently pdf2swf compiles the swf with certain "AllowDomain" security settings and there is no option to not do that. Short of editing the source code and compiling pdf2swf oneself, it seems a deadend.
If you look at the brew formula: brew edit swftools, PDF support comes via xpdf and this is not included by default as XQuartz needs to be installed:
brew instal swftools --with-xpdf
swftools: XQuartz is required to install this formula.
You can install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
You can download from:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
So:
Install XQuartz
brew install swftools --with-xpdf

How to install PerlMagick on Mac OSX using Homebrew?

I have successfully installed ImageMagick using Homebrew but I can't get PerlMagick to install properly using the instructions here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php
I get a lot of errors on Magick.xs. Anyone has any idea how to do this properly?
Following this reply, I simply uninstalled mono (which brew doctor had been complaining about), un- and reinstalled brew imagemagick.
cpanm then reported Image::Magick to already be installed. And it worked, too.
