I have installed brew on OSX and I have installed successfully several things.
However when I try to install suite-sparse421 (hard constraint on the version):
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install suite-sparse421
I get the following error:
Error: No available formula with the name "suite-sparse421"
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
Running brew doctor shows no problem (Your system is ready to brew.)
Running brew update shows no problem (Already up-to-date.)
Any idea?
Have a look at this
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/suite-sparse.rb
Homebrew-science/suite-sparse.rb has updated it url to download the 4.5.3 package, "http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse-4.5.3.tar.gz"
If you want a specific version , why not download and build on your own.
The commands to build are pretty self explanatory there in the rb script.
As you can see in the error message there’s no formula named suite-sparse421. There’s nothing wrong with your Homebrew installation; it just doesn’t exist. See this other SO answer on how to install a previous version of a formula.
In addition to the previous right answers, the formula suite-sparse421 was removed. And all archived versions of SuiteSparse are listed on the official website.

I recently installed Homebrew via terminal, but I get some errors when I try to use it to install other programs.
This is an example situation when I try to install pyenv.
brew install pyenv
This is the output of above command:
Running `brew update --preinstall`...
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.

Error: No formulae found in taps.
Error:
homebrew-cask is a shallow clone.
To `brew update`, first run:
git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask fetch --unshallow
This command may take a few minutes to run due to the large size of the repository.
This restriction has been made on GitHub's request because updating shallow
clones is an extremely expensive operation due to the tree layout and traffic of
Homebrew/homebrew-core and Homebrew/homebrew-cask. We don't do this for you
automatically to avoid repeatedly performing an expensive unshallow operation in
CI systems (which should instead be fixed to not use shallow clones). Sorry for
the inconvenience!
Error: pyenv: undefined method `cellar' for #<BottleSpecification:0x00007fd7720b4360>
I had the exact same problem.
What solved my issue on macOS Monterey 12.1 was to investigate the problem with brew doctor and then do as the output recommended.
The output of brew doctor informed me that the homebrew/homebrew-core hasn't been tapped properly and recommended the following commands:
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
Then I just continued with Pyenv's installation process and everything worked.
Homebrew suddenly stopped working, when i run any brew command i get following output:

Error: Failed to upgrade Homebrew Portable Ruby!
I already tried to remove the file portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz but it doesn't work and i couldn't find any helpful information about this error on Google.
Any help is appreciated.
There are several things that I can think of for your situation.
Your output has yosemite identifier, to be clear, MacOS Yosemite is actually 10.10.x, it is not in the current/latest homebrew support list, and also different from 10.14 Mojave in your problem title. So if you are actually using Mojave, you can keep your brew up to date and reinstall ruby.
The latest Ruby formula is actually 2.7.x, you might want to reinstall/upgrade (brew reinstall ruby/brew upgrade ruby).
In all, if you still run into an issue, please attach the outputs of brew config and brew doctor for troubleshooting.
Try brew update-reset and then try brew upgrade.
It's set portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz was already downloaded so I removed it and it went through henceforth.
I was able to install Homebrew + nginx + rtmp in macOS High Sierra 10.13. Now I want do the same on macOS Mojave 10.14.
So let's start ... istallation of Homebrew, first we need Xcode in terminal...
xcode-select –install
than. We need homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
than install nginx + rtmp
And here's the problem
I tried:
brew install nginx-full --with-rtmp-module
but it won't work
the result:
Updating Homebrew...
Usage: brew install [options] formula
Install formula. Additional options specific to formula may be appended to the command.
Unless HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP is set, brew cleanup will then be run for
the installed formulae or, every 30 days, for all formulae.
-d, --debug If brewing fails, open an interactive
debugging session with access to IRB or a
shell inside the temporary build directory.
--env If std is passed, use the standard build
environment instead of superenv. If super
is passed, use superenv even if the formula
specifies the standard build environment.
--ignore-dependencies An unsupported Homebrew development flag to
skip installing any dependencies of any
kind. If the dependencies are not already
present, the formula will have issues. If
you're not developing Homebrew, consider
adjusting your PATH rather than using this
flag.
--only-dependencies Install the dependencies with specified
options but do not install the formula
itself.
--cc Attempt to compile using the specified
compiler, which should be the name of the
compiler's executable, e.g. gcc-7 for GCC
7. In order to use LLVM's clang, specify
llvm_clang. To use the Apple-provided
clang, specify clang. This option will
only accept compilers that are provided by
Homebrew or bundled with macOS. Please do
not file issues if you encounter errors
while using this option.
-s, --build-from-source Compile formula from source even if a
bottle is provided. Dependencies will still
be installed from bottles if they are
available.
--force-bottle Install from a bottle if it exists for the
current or newest version of macOS, even if
it would not normally be used for
installation.
--include-test Install testing dependencies required to
run brew test formula.
--devel If formula defines it, install the
development version.
--HEAD If formula defines it, install the HEAD
version, aka. master, trunk, unstable.
--fetch-HEAD Fetch the upstream repository to detect if
the HEAD installation of the formula is
outdated. Otherwise, the repository's HEAD
will only be checked for updates when a new
stable or development version has been
released.
--keep-tmp Retain the temporary files created during
installation.
--build-bottle Prepare the formula for eventual bottling
during installation, skipping any
post-install steps.
--bottle-arch Optimise bottles for the specified
architecture rather than the oldest
architecture supported by the version of
macOS the bottles are built on.
-f, --force Install without checking for previously
installed keg-only or non-migrated
versions.
-v, --verbose Print the verification and postinstall
steps.
--display-times Print install times for each formula at the
end of the run.
-i, --interactive Download and patch formula, then open a
shell. This allows the user to run
./configure --help and otherwise
determine how to turn the software package
into a Homebrew package.
-g, --git Create a Git repository, useful for
creating patches to the software.
-h, --help Show this message.
Error: invalid option: --with-rtmp-module
so i tried:
brew install nginx --with-rtmp-module
but.....result:
Updating Homebrew...
Error: No available formula with the name "–with-rtmp-module"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
so I decided to try install nginx first and than rtmp module
brew install nginx
and than i tried:
brew install nginx libnginx-mod-rtmp (copying from Linux)
brew install rtmp-module
brew install module-rtmp
But none of the above worked. How do I resolve it?
You should tap a nginx formulae before try install nginx-full
Well you can try denji/nginx, since homebrew/nginx tap has been deprecated, That's:
brew tap denji/nginx
then
brew install nginx-full --with-rtmp-module
That works for me.
When I try to install cassandra12 on my Mac using:
brew install cassandra12
It fails with:
Error: No available formula with the name "homebrew/versions/cassandra12"
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
Updating, uninstalling and re-installing brew didn't help either. Can somebody help me with how to fix this issue?
Note: 'brew search cassandra' shows cassandra21 and cassandra22. I need cassandra12 specifically.
Cassandra 1.2 was removed from home-brew versions about a month ago.
zzatking posted the following on the pull request
If anyone really needs a version that was removed due to this pull
request, you can find it by following these steps:
Click the commit above related to your software (e.g. cassandra*)
Find the formula you desire (e.g. cassandra12.rb)
Click "View" for that formula
Click "Raw" for the source
Copy the URL
Run brew install <URL>
I first installed octave through brew with the instruction on the office website. One day when I entered brew update && brew upgrade, octave started to upgrade but one error occurred said
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your
PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this
script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help
output for more details.
So I entered brew cask install mactex to install tex and added the Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin to the PATH, when I run tex, it correctly processed:
terminal screenshot
Then I run brew upgrade but the same error occurred again.
I realized that the --without-docs argument may fix this problem but if I want to install docs (since I have already installed tex) what should I do?
I had similar problem while installing another program (not octave) and after looking around I found that I needed to install TeTex (http://www.tug.org/teTeX/) or TexLive, however I decided to install TexLive because TeTex is not mantained anymore...
For me it worked after installing Texlive on the basic configuration. You can follow the instructions over here:
