I have the same issue and this is how I fixed:
Remove ahoy

$ brew prune ahoy
$ brew uninstall ahoy

After this reinstall ahoy specifying the brew tap

$ brew install ahoy-cli/tap/ahoy

I don't know if the repo change his name on GitHub and something broke's

So, it definitely seems broken.

[alexfinnarn]

The build is even failing so I guess I shouldn't assume it was going to work...

but https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4727 might be it.

[jmolivas]

@alexfinnarn you can download the binary from the release
https://github.com/ahoy-cli/ahoy/releases/tag/2.0.0
then mv and chmod +x manually

[alexfinnarn]

Thanks @jmolivas! I'll try that. I made ahoy-cli/homebrew-tap#7 to try out. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it was a thought...

[FatherShawn]

In the meantime I also posted a zip of the altered tap directory in my downstream project: digitalpulp/ballast#20 (comment) with the fix from ahoy-cli/homebrew-tap#6

[jmolivas]

@FatherShawn what we used to do for now is to provide instructions:

• Download from the releases page.
• Move to a global accessible path mv FILE /usr/local/bin/ahoy
• Make it executable chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ahoy

[frankcarey]

ahoy-cli/homebrew-tap#6 seems to have fixed the issue, so closing. Sorry about that folks!

[eskp]

Just ran into this. Running brew install ahoy --HEAD seeing the error reported.
