Deploy homebrew

I'm looking for advice on getting homebrew on new employee machines automatically. We have a work flow we would like to keep to as few clicks as possible.

I am trying to get the process of pulling down XCode CLI, installing homebrew, adding cask, and then installing third party apps for new employee machines.

I have the XCode CLI component down but having problems with installing homebrew and adding cask. Curious if anyone has a working script to make this happen. I am deploying this process through self service.

@jhbush1973 thank you! I had been looking for something like this a little while ago and couldn't find anything.

I just modified it to remove the caffinate and terminal notifier stuff and was able to install brew successfully via the script.

When trying to run a brew command from terminal on the machine (non-admin standard user) i'm getting 'brew' command not found. Any ideas on the errors above in the script, and why brew commands won't work even though all the folders were created and permissions seem right?

djdavetrouble

probably not in the path:
link text
either add to path or specify full path in terminal / scripts

jlang_remedy
New Contributor III

Since i'd rather change the script, what specifically would need editing in the script code above? It looks like full paths are laid out there.

@franton Any ideas here regarding your script and how it operates in the JSS?

franton
Valued Contributor III

@jlang_remedy Ok you run this as a self service policy. The only variables that should need changes are at the top of the script.

We threw this in Self Service:

#!/bin/bash

osascript <<'EOF'
tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script ("/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"") in window 1
end tell
EOF

exit 0

jlang_remedy
New Contributor III

@franton I threw the script in self-service and it seemed to install successfully, even despite some error statements in the log.

Eg. : -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'<br/>complete" : -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file<br/>Fri Aug 25 13:29:48 EDT 2017 - Installation complete<br/>

I opened terminal and tried some brew commands and still getting "-bash: brew: command not found". errors.

By the way, my use case is that an non-administrator local account is performing the self-service install and is the account that will be using brew. Does this script not work for that scenario?

franton

@jlang_remedy And yet my local copy works from Self Service ok.

I have no explanation for your errors. Above is what I'm using for Self Service install on non-admin accounts and it works.

@franton Thanks for this version! It's working now for me in self-service. Looks like a few differences in this version, especially exporting variables. Thanks!

This script is not safe if your users aren't admin and you don't want them to be admin. It changes the ownership of /usr/local and everything in it to the user that is logged in, which may not be admin. If nothing is installed there before this script runs it isn't a problem, but if you've got scripts already installed there then this will script will have some unintended consequences...

My question is, I am building a workflow to install 32 new macs for a lab situation and i want the install of brew to be in the initial workflow. There will be no self service on these machines. So will this script work using Jamf Imaging?

franton
Valued Contributor III

My own script is designed for self service only.

paulkenworthy
New Contributor

I've been trying to use the script posted by @franton however run into problems relating to High Sierra. In High Sierra I can't chown /usr/local anymore. The suggested fix I've been able to find is instead chown $(brew --prefix)/* So the only change made to the script is replacing:

chown -R $consoleuser /usr/local
with
chown -R $consoleuser $(brew --prefix)/*

running the script from self-service of a non-admin user, the following error is producing during the install:

Error: /usr/local is not writable

but the install appears to complete. Running brew doctor or brew update produces the same error however. This happens with a fresh install of the OS and homebrew. If anyone's had success getting homebrew installed via self-service in High Sierra I'd be very interested in how you've done it (the only info I've been able to find from the homebrew side is the changed chown command and the suggestion of re-installing homebrew).

isterling_goaaa
New Contributor III

@paulkenworthy Were you able to find a solution? I've found this post on Medium, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I think it'd be silly to use this solution though, since you'd essentially be installing brew twice.

paulkenworthy
New Contributor

@isterling.goaaa I'm afraid I wasn't.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling homebrew as per that link, however if I run the commands exactly as given on that page via JSS it fails, as installing Homebrew as root is dangerous. If I modify the uninstall and reinstall commands to match the installing command given earlier in this thread than the same /usr/local/ is not writable error is given.

Any thoughts on this? NOTE: this works through executing a terminal command via policy trigger, however, on initial enrollment we have setup with splashbuddy, it constantly gives us this error.

Does maybe anyone having a solution on installing homebrew on High Sierra?

The ideal solution for us would be to install homebrew at the deployment process and provide application installers through self service to our non-admin user with the following example: „brew cask install cyberduck“.

Thank you in advance.

@Danko - I've had a terrible time trying to install homebrew without interaction and unattended. Eventually we switched over to this which I modified from @emily 's post above and it's been the most consistent experience for us. It also doesn't require the user to run manually and doesn't run as root (which is preferred for Homebrew installs) so if your techs aren't onboarding, this is safe to run as a pre-stage for users as a policy in Self Service.

We have other applications that install via brew during deployment so they would also run those commands in this script which is why Homebrew has a pause while Window 1 of Terminal is active so they don't overlap each other. I removed those from below as you'll do that via Self Service.

#!/bin/bash

# Running caffeinate command so system doesn't bork the Homebrew install
caffeinate -d -i -m -u &
caffeinatepid=$!
echo "Caffeinating the mac under process id: $caffeinatepid"

# Open non-admin safe Terminal window, install Homebrew and wait until process is complete before continuing
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to quit'
osascript <<'EOF'
tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script ("/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"") in window 1
    repeat
            delay 0.5
            if not busy of window 1 then exit repeat
        end repeat
end tell
EOF

# Insert additional brew installs here

# Ending caffeinate command
kill "$caffeinatepid"

# Close Terminal window
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to quit'

exit 0

@kevinwilemon - Thank you for the quick response.
How do you run this script? Policy? Self Service?

I've tried both way, but got stuck when the user have to press enter to continue the installation process.

Our idea would be to run the initial setup of Homebrew inside our deployment process as a policy (as localadmin).
After Homebrew is correctly installed we would like to provide Applications in the Self Service which just run a "brew cask install" command in the background to get the Apps installed.

kevinwilemon
New Contributor III

We run via Self Service (though it can be run as a policy as well). As I mentioned, we've had a terrible time trying to install Homebrew successfully when attempting to skip the interactive step and switched to this method for onboarding which then allows the user to install via brew whether they're an admin or not.

@kevinwilemon When I ran this script as a Self-Service item while logged in as a standard user, I got an error that I must be an administrator to install

New Contributor III

@kevinwilemon I was able to install homebrew as a standard user, but how are you deploying applications after it has been installed? I'm getting errors about user not being in sudoers file or not being able to move the .app from their home directory to /Applications .

I am having a difficult time getting this to work in in Mojave.

The script highlighted as the solution here keeps giving errors on the /usr/local folder. I have noticed that the script, written as is, and brought in to Jamf Pro's script section, and deployed to a new machine, does not execute any of the tasks beneath "# Manually make all the appropriate directories and set permissions"

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried writing those lines to execute as su -l "$consoleuser" -c, i've tried packaging it as a separate script and running it under files and processes, and I'm running in to every dead end.

@sdamiano Unfortunately, with /usr falling under SIP, the script will not work. After found out it broke, we started using @emily 's method since our developers are local admins.

It lets us script out the deployment of xcode cli tools, homebrew, jetbrains apps, and docker with 1 click and 1 password.

Hi @emily .

Ya 10.14 makes this difficult. Has anyone gotten homebrew to install automatically after enrollment?

Hi everyone, here is a script that works on Mojave - I have implemented into our workflow at work, so its production-ready.

This will pull the latest CLI and install homebrew!

This is ready to use with DEP and any onboarding splash screen app you use, such as Splashbuddy. Also, does work as a Self Service policy!

Enjoy!

hi,

@igreznik 's script worked well.
If your users are non-admins, you have to make them temporary admins to be able to install things or else you will get the following error:

Downloading Command Line Tools (macOS Mojave version 10.14) for Xcode Downloaded Command Line Tools (macOS Mojave version 10.14) for Xcode Installing Command Line Tools (macOS Mojave version 10.14) for Xcode Done with Command Line Tools (macOS Mojave version 10.14) for Xcode Done. This script requires the user yourusernamehere to be an Administrator. Error running script: return code was 1.

Add user to admingroup

sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a $ConsoleUser -t user admin

Remove him afterwards

sudo dseditgroup -o edit -d $ConsoleUser -t user admin

Not the beautiful way to do it, but nobody will notice... :-)

is this via self service?

how you do you guys code in the license acceptance?

IIRC xcodebuild -license accept needs to be added to allow the installation of the build.

also, via the script for the ruby caller, it requires user interaction in terminal before continuing.

#!/bin/sh

osascript <<'EOF'
tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script ("yes '' | /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"") in window 1
end tell
EOF


sudo xcodebuild -license accept

if sudo xcodebuild -license accept; then
    printf 'sudo xcodebuild -license accept succeeded
'
else
    printf 'sudo xcodebuild -license accept failed
'
fi


exit 0

this is what i use, but i am an admin on my machine and i run the script via sh in terminal, not in self service.

i had a user test for me that isnt an admin and gets this error

Script result: osascript 45:180: execution error: Terminal got an error: Can’t get window 1. (-1728) sudo xcodebuild -license accept xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance sudo xcodebuild -license accept xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance printf 'sudo xcodebuild -license accept failed ' sudo xcodebuild -license accept failed + exit 0

I've been using the first script posted by @dmarcnw to install during enrollment on Catalina, but I noticed the error below every time I try to use brew.

Error: /usr/local is not writable. You should change the
ownership and permissions of /usr/local back to your
user account:
  sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

Anybody got any idea how to correct this?
