How can I tell brew to skip trying to make calls to the Internet when installing locally?
I have downloaded the brew formula and bottle
user@host ~ % ls wget-1.24.5.json wget-1.24.5.rb wget-1.24.5.ventura.bottle.tar.gz According to the manual page man brew, you can specify the relative path to the recipe after brew install
BREW(1) brew BREW(1) NAME brew - The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux) SYNOPSIS brew --version brew command [--verbose|-v] [options] [formula] ... ... TERMINOLOGY formula Homebrew package definition that builds from upstream sources ... install formula Install formula. formula is usually the name of the formula to install, but it has other syntaxes which are listed in the SPECIFYING FORMULAE section. ... SPECIFYING FORMULAE Many Homebrew commands accept one or more formula arguments. These arguments can take several different forms: The name of a formula e.g. git, node, wget. The fully-qualified name of a tapped formula Sometimes a formula from a tapped repository may conflict with one in homebrew/core. You can still access these formulae by using a special syntax, e.g. homebrew/dupes/vim or homebrew/ver- sions/node4. An arbitrary file Homebrew can install formulae from a local path. It can point to either a formula file or a bottle. Prefix relative paths with ./ to prevent them from being interpreted as a formula or tap name.
As described in the documentation above, I execute the following
brew reinstall --verbose ./wget-1.24.5.rb Unfortunaelty, the above command attempts to access the Internet. And when curl inevitably times-out, rather than using the bottle that's stored in the $HOMEBREW_CACHE, it just exits due to the network failure
