solved Error - unable to install home-brew and php (Intel Mac)

[stranger1]

Hi,

 

I have these error while trying to install home-brew and php with the suggestion of Alfred support team.

I had errors when trying to run some workflows and because of this I reached out to Alfred support.

 

Here are the errors.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

home brew;

terminal command I used (from home-brew website): /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

 

From https://github.com/Homebrew/brew

 * [new branch]          dependabot/bundler/Library/Homebrew/sorbet-static-and-runtime-0.5.10172 -> origin/dependabot/bundler/Library/Homebrew/sorbet-static-and-runtime-0.5.10172

   5080312bd..985f29f59  master     -> origin/master

Updating files: 100% (3739/3739), done.

fatal: invalid upstream 'origin/master'

Failed during: /usr/local/bin/brew update --force --quiet

 

PHP installation;

I used this command in the terminal: brew install php@7.4

Warning: No available formula with the name "php@7.4".

==> 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.

==> Searching taps on GitHub...

Error: No formulae found in taps.

 

This is where it all started trying to run a workflow called downmedia. I had the same issue on few other workflows as well.

 

Thanks !

Unless there’s another one with the same name that I’m not aware of, that is not possible. DownMedia doesn’t use PHP or any deprecated language.

 

Try brew update-reset and see if that fixes it.

Thanks Vitor,

 

after reset and using the command below I was able to see dv and da on the quick launch bar (Alfred - option + space)

`brew install yt-dlp`

 

However I get a message - `download failed` and nothing shows when I look for progress. btw I'm on Alfred 4.

one more thing, now I'm seeing this;

thank in advance for your help...

[vitor]

That’s explained in the Workflow’s About. It catches the URL in your clipboard and your frontmost browser. What you’re seeing is the title of this tab.

My bad...

 

this had the answer... Thanks a lot Vitor
