Brew install

Install or upgrade dependencies using Homebrew, a package manager for MacOS.

Configuring the Step

Homebrew defines the available packages as formulae. Our Step needs the name of the Homebrew formulae you want to use, either specified as a step input, or from a Brewfile in the project's source.

To specify formulae in the step configuration

1. In the Formula name input, put the name of the formula you want to download.
2. In the Upgrade formula? input, set the default behavior for previously installed packages. If the input is set to yes, the Step will call brew reinstall to upgrade them to the latest version.
3. In the Brew install/reinstall options input, you can set additional flags for the brew install or brew reinstall commands.

For the possible options, see Homebrew's documentation.

Alternatively you can install formulae using a Brewfile

1. Add a Brewfile to the root of the project's source. For the format of the Brewfile, see the Homebrew Bundle documentation
2. Set the Use a Brewfile to install packages? input to "yes".
3. (optional) Set the Path to the Brewfile input if it is not in the root of the project's source
