# linuxbrew-wrapper(7)

Wrapper of the Missing Package Manager For Linux

## NAME

linuxbrew-wrapper - Wrapper of the Missing Package Manager For Linux

## SYNOPSIS

**linuxbrew** \[*options*\]\
 **brew** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This wrapper package contains no linuxbrew itself, but just a wrapper script and an Homebrew/Linuxbrew upstream install script. And the wrapper script does:

  \* run linuxbrew if it exists at your home.

  \* run upstream install script if found no linuxbrew instance at your home.

In order to utilize the software installed with brew/linuxbrew, you may want to add linuxbrew directory in some environment variables:

  \+ PATH      \|  for finding executable programs\
     e.g.      \|  export PATH="${HOME}/.linuxbrew/bin:${PATH}"

  \+ MANPATH   \|  for finding manpages\
     e.g.      \|  export MANPATH="${HOME}/.linuxbrew/share/man:${MANPATH}"

  \+ INFOPATH  \|  for finding info pages\
     e.g.      \|  export INFOPATH="${HOME}/.linuxbrew/share/info:${INFOPATH}"

## OPTIONS

For the options of linuxbrew please see brew(1).

## EXAMPLE

/usr/share/doc/linuxbrew-wrapper/examples/profile

## BUGS

If you find a linuxbrew's packaging BUG or other BUG of Homebrew/Linuxbrew itself,  then it may not be BUG of Debian, because such a bug is handled by  Homebrew/Linuxbrew upstream, and in fact the files triggered that (packaging)  BUG are likely not provided by this Debian package.  Such BUG should be reported here:

  https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew/issues

Apart from that, if you find a BUG on linuxbrew-wrapper, i.e. the troublesome file is listed in \`dpkg -L linuxbrew-wrapper\`, then it is a Debian BUG and please report it to Debian, thanks. ;-)
