如何判断我是否正确安装了 Homebrew？

Question

不久前，我在我的 Mac 上安装了 Homebrew，我担心我安装不当导致 Brew 无法正常工作。我可以从终端运行使用某种命令来检查是否一切正常吗？

我担心设置不正确的原因有两个：

我正在观看 this tutorial，其中他运行发出了命令 brew search，它为他提供了一个他可以安装的软件包列表。但是当我运行命令时，我收到错误消息 This command requires at least 1 text or regex argument. 这正常吗？
当我运行 brew 命令时，它比我从终端运行其他命令花费的时间长得多（可能 3 秒）。这正常吗？

Answer 1

brew --version 将是检查软件是否安装成功的基本且最简单的方法。

$ brew --version
Homebrew 3.2.17-108-ge518ea4
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 4eaec4244d4; last commit 2021-10-21)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 4d10ee7007; last commit 2021-10-22)

对于 brew 命令，您可以运行帮助了解您可以尝试的更多选项，例如

例如，如果我想安装go，我可以做brew search go:

$ brew search node
==> Formulae
heroku/brew/heroku-node ✔            node ✔                               node@10                              node_exporter                        nodenv
libbitcoin-node                      node-build                           node@12                              nodebrew                             ode
llnode                               node-sass                            node@14                              nodeenv
==> Casks
font-ubuntu-mono-derivative-powerline                         nodebox                                                       nodeclipse
nodebox                                                       nodeclipse

If you meant "node" specifically:
It was migrated from homebrew/cask to homebrew/core.
