HashiCorp Homebrew Tap

What is Homebrew?

Package manager for macOS (or Linux), see more at https://brew.sh

What is a Tap?

A third-party (in relation to Homebrew) repository providing installable packages (formulae) on macOS and Linux.

See more at https://docs.brew.sh/Taps

How do I install packages from here?

brew install hashicorp/tap/name

You can also only add the tap which makes formulae within it available in search results (brew search output):

brew tap hashicorp/tap

Note: to clone the tap via SSH you will need to use:

brew tap hashicorp/tap https://github.com/hashicorp/homebrew-tap

While you may search across taps, it is necessary to always use fully qualified name (incl. the hashicorp/tap/ prefix) when refering to formulae in external taps such as this one outside of search.

What packages are available?

With the following commands, you can install the latest generally available (GA) version of each product:

Prereleases (including as alpha's, beta's, and release candidates) will not be available in this tap.

Why should I install packages from this tap?

Formulae for the same HashiCorp software may exist in other taps or the community-maintained main tap. This may raise a question of why would someone prefer one tap over the other.

The community-maintained tap compiles HashiCorp software on Homebrew's own infrastructure, and builds it according to the local formulae definition.

Formulae in this tap are maintained by HashiCorp, which means that it distributes the exact (byte-to-byte) same binaries which are published to https://releases.hashicorp.com

• macOS binaries are signed by HashiCorp and the signature can be verified per instructions on the HashiCorp's Security page
• Teams maintaining HashiCorp software choose Go version and any build flags deliberately while factoring in support, security and other concerns. Binaries distributed through this tap reflect this.
• Updating of formulae is automated, which means that updates become available as they're released.

Why doesn't HashiCorp maintain formulae in the homebrew-core (main tap)?

Homebrew's core team prefers to keep homebrew-core as community maintained and built from source to maintain consistency across vendors in terms of expectations around contents and updates. See relevant discussion for more information.
