How to install homebrew disable formula?

I have not tried this lately. For what it's worth, you should have a link (not a binary) in /opt/homebrew/bin/. The clone might unpack to prefix "/opt" instead of "/usr/local"; for example /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/p/[email protected]. Also did you check /opt/homebrew/Cellar for a directory [email protected] ?

/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/p/[email protected]

Yup, already handled that too and modified the correct file. Basically I am able to run the brew install [email protected] correctly and this time in the output there is no disabled errors/warnings either.

Also did you check /opt/homebrew/Cellar for a directory [email protected] ?

No folder for [email protected] there either.

you should have a link (not a binary) in /opt/homebrew/bin/

Yes I am aware, I meant that neither the link or any reference is there.

The only reference/folder exists post installation is /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.8/ which only has site-packages folder.
