Homebrew on Linux uses its own repository for formulae: Homebrew/linuxbrew-core You can install it in your home directory, so it does not require sudo, and use it to install software that your host distribution’s package manager does not provide. Homebrew on Linux was previously called “Linuxbrew”.
Major changes and deprecations since 1.9.0: The most significant changes since 1.9.0 are official support for Linux and Windows 10 (with Windows Subsystem for Linux), brew cleanup running automatically, no more options in Homebrew/homebrew-core, and removal of support for OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and older. Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 2.0.0.
