Installs Homebrew on macOS, and configures packages, taps, and cask apps according to supplied variables.
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
homebrew_repo: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew
The GitHub repository for Homebrew core.
homebrew_prefix: /usr/local
homebrew_install_path: "{{ homebrew_prefix }}/Homebrew"
The path where Homebrew will be installed (homebrew_prefix is the parent directory). It is recommended you stick to the default, otherwise Homebrew might have some weird issues. If you change this variable, you should also manually create a symlink back to /usr/local so things work as Homebrew expects.
homebrew_brew_bin_path: /usr/local/bin
The path where brew will be installed.
homebrew_installed_packages: []
Packages you would like to make sure are installed via brew install. You can optionally add flags to the install by setting an install_options property, and if used, you need to explicitly set the name for the package as well.
homebrew_uninstalled_packages: []
Packages you would like to make sure are uninstalled.
homebrew_upgrade_all_packages: false
Whether to upgrade homebrew and all packages installed by homebrew. If you prefer to manually update packages via brew commands, leave this set to no.
homebrew_taps:
- homebrew/core
- caskroom/cask
Taps you would like to make sure Homebrew has tapped.
homebrew_cask_apps: []
Apps you would like to have installed via cask. Search for popular apps to see if they're available for install via Cask. Cask will not be used if it is not included in the list of taps in the homebrew_taps variable.
homebrew_cask_uninstalled_apps:
- google-chrome
Apps you would like to make sure are uninstalled.
homebrew_cask_appdir: /Applications
Directory where applications installed via cask should be installed.
homebrew_use_brewfile: false
Whether to install via a Brewfile. If so, you will need to install the homebrew/bundle tap, which could be done within homebrew_taps.
homebrew_brewfile_dir: '~'
The directory where your Brewfile is located.
- hosts: localhost
vars:
homebrew_installed_packages:
- mysql
