Unable to brew install - arbitrary URL is disabled

[jandolina]

Hey All,
This looks like a great package, but I am having trouble getting started. Can you please verify my command? The response is not encouraging.

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EricChiang/pup/master/pup.rb

Calling Non-checksummed download of pup formula file from an arbitrary URL is disabled!

[gromgit]

Homebrew disabled installation of arbitrary formula URLs some time back: https://brew.sh/2020/05/29/homebrew-2.3.0/

The supported methodology is to create a public tap: https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap

And if you're looking for the latest stable release, brew install pup will get it for you.

brew install pup
Totally worked! Maybe change the documentation on the main page to say that is how to install it?

Thanks

A PR to do just that was submitted almost 1.5 years ago...and is still open: #116

As simple as that.
Too bad such a simple solution is not better exposed…
