salt.modules.mac_brew_pkg¶

Homebrew for macOS

It is recommended for the salt-minion to have the HOMEBREW_PREFIX environment variable set.

This will ensure that Salt uses the correct path for the brew binary.

Typically, this is set to /usr/local for Intel Macs and /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon Macs.

salt.modules.mac_brew_pkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)¶

This function is an alias of latest_version.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3>

salt.modules.mac_brew_pkg.hold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)¶

Set package in 'hold' state, meaning it will not be upgraded.
