Find the formula for the version you want to install:
- Visit https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/tree/master/Formula
- Click the file with your formula (e.g. “composer.rb”)
- Click “History” (top right)
- Click the commit hash for the version you want to download
- Click the three dots (top right of diff) and choose “view file”
- Click “Raw” and copy the raw URL from the browser address bar.
For example, composer 1.10.15 lives here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/9e6e6a1ca8551901bff69d329c7fbb9007064134/Formula/composer.rb
With the raw file at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/9e6e6a1ca8551901bff69d329c7fbb9007064134/Formula/composer.rb
-
Download the raw formula to disk:
cd ~/Desktop curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/9e6e6a1ca8551901bff69d329c7fbb9007064134/Formula/composer.rb
-
Install that recipe from disk:
brew install composer.rb
(changecomposer.rb
to the formula name) -
Clean up:
rm composer.rb
(changecomposer.rb
to the formula name) -
Check the version for whatever you just installed:
❯ composer --version Composer version 1.10.15 2020-10-13 15:59:09
