Homebrew in Ubuntu getting uninstalled after reboot

Question

I am installing properly Homebrew in my ubuntu 22.04 and everything is fine brew doctor, brew --version everything is running properly. But everytime I am rebooting my system, the homebrew is getting uninstalled I dont know why this is happening. Please someone suggest a solution

Answer 1

Homebrew does not uninstall itself. Your issue is probably the following:

$ brew --version
bash: brew: command not found

You can verify that it still exists as follows:

$ /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew --version
Homebrew 4.1.1

You can run brew without writing the full path by adding "$(brew --prefix)"/bin (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/) in PATH. You can do so by running the eval command:

$ brew --version
bash: brew: command not found
$ eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
$ brew --version
Homebrew 4.1.1

The eval command can be found under "Next steps" when running the install script. If you are using bash, you may want to add the command to your .bashrc (or .bash_profile for login shells):

echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> .bashrc
