Distributing and Installing with Homebrew #1171
Description
Description
On one of my devices I use Bluefin Dx which is a Universal-Blue/Atomic Fedora based distro. I cannot install vite plus using curl as it would be wiped away by the next OS update. As such, they recommend installing CLI tools using Homebrew so that the software can be reapplied after an update.
Suggested solution
In Universal-Blue/Atomic Fedora based distros(like Bazzite Dx or Bluefin Dx) they recommend installing CLI tools using Homebrew (see: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/software-intro/).
Would the vite-plus team consider also distributing via homebrew? This may also be helpful for enterprises that use WorkBrew.

We already have plans to provide a Homebrew installation, with plans to complete it before the Beta version release

I've created a custom Homebrew formula which can be used in the meantime while waiting for the official formula:

This is listed in the Q2 roadmap issue #1324

There is a formula on the homebrew-core repo (Homebrew's official formulae repo)

The formula seems to be stale. It's still at v0.1.22.

Custom tap should be implemented now, i do not know why this issue is not yet resolved, nubjs did in hours on opening the issue
Arcadi4 commentedon Sep 6, 2026
ikr... it takes just a few minutes to set up a self-hosted tap. don't know what's blocking them here
devharshthakur commentedon Sep 7, 2026
yes exactly that is what i am talking about
devharshthakur commentedon Sep 7, 2026
It is better than being in core sometimes it become stale or behind , self hosted taps are better
feat: add official Homebrew tap (voidzero-dev#2740)
