What you were trying to do (and why)

Install 7zip https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/sevenzip

What happened (include screenshots)

brew ls sevenzip will display all files a formula installed. But I think that would be far too much information to display on the website.

For example for boost: /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.78.0_1/include/boost/ (15026 files)
