#Cellar macvim update

brew Brew update fails with Permission denied.

Cannot update HomeBrew: Permission denied.

Error Permission denied when running brew.

Homebrew: Permissions Denied Issue Fix (OS X / macOS).

Deleted all caches under /Library/Caches/Homebrew folder and retriedĬheck out at the bottom of this post for command which fixed my issue.

I tried below few tips but it didn’t work for me. Similar to a symlink, but specific to my need.Are you getting below error while executing Homebrew command? Today while installing PHP on my new Macbook 16″ I got below error. So technically, everytime the system asks for /Applications/MacVim.app, what it really does being the scene is to list the content of the folder /usr/local/Cellar/macvim, take the first folder in the list, and read the content of the MacVim.app file in the said folder. The only requirement is to implement the open, read and close command. I only know it is possible to create a custom character device with a custom driver. I haven't looked in depth in this solution as it is definitely more advanced.

What I like with this solution, is that the command is only run when it is needed, not every minute. Then I would simply run the same command as in the crontab when MacVim is updated. That's a guess, but I was hoping there were some feature in homebrew to run a command after a package is being updated. I don't find this solution particularly better than the crontab except it is using a more 'modern' scheduler. Same as crontab, but using a scheduled task. Or am I missing something obvious? A bit more explanations as requested in comment Solution 1Ī one line command in the crontab can be used: * * * * * ln -fs '$(find '/usr/local/Cellar/macvim' -name 'MacVim.app' | head -n 1)' /Applications/MacVim.app And solution #5 seems a bit hardcore for such a trivial task. Solution #3 and #4 are much better, but I haven't found anything about hook in homebrew. If possible, I would prefer to run the command when it is needed only. Every minute, the command to update the symlink is run, but 99.99% of the time it does nothing Looks more like a hacky solution to me. I implemented solution #1 and #2 in the past, but I find it quite messy.

#Cellar macvim driver

Create a node with custom driver that open(), read() and close() the right file.Configure homebrew to hook some script after updating MacVim to update symlink.Configure homebrew, if possible, to use the same directory always.Use a crontab to regularly update the symlink.What can I do to have a more permanent solution that does not require fixing the symlink every time MacVim is updated? Of course, next time MacVim is updated, the version will change and I will have to fix the symlink. I have created a symlink in /Applications pointing to /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-163_2/MacVim.app (for now) so MacVim.app is visible in the Launchpad, and I dragged the symlink in the Dock to access it quickly. Now I like my app to be accessible through the Dock and the Launchpad. The absolute path to the app is /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/xxxxxx/MacVim.app, with xxxxxx the version number. I am using MacVim installed via homebrew.
