I just tried to use Homebrew and Linuxbrew to install packages on my Ubuntu Server but both failed. This is how I tried to install them:
sudo apt-get install bui
As of February 2018, installing brew
on Ubuntu (mine is 17.10) machine is as simple as:
sudo apt install linuxbrew-wrapper
Then, on first brew
execution (just type brew --help
) you will be asked for two installation options:
me@computer:~/$ brew --help
==> Select the Linuxbrew installation directory
- Enter your password to install to /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew (recommended)
- Press Control-D to install to /home/me/.linuxbrew
- Press Control-C to cancel installation
[sudo] password for me:
For recommended option type your password (if your current user is in sudo
group), or, if you prefer installing all the dependencies in your own home folder, hit Ctrl+D. Enjoy.

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
export brew=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin
test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
test -r ~/.profile && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile // for ubuntu and debian
