| Homebrew always wants to install the latest version of the Formula (software). This is by design, because every time there is an update to a formula, it wants to be tested against all the other formulas that it depends on. Mixing new and old versions of software is a recipe for incompatibility disaster. | |
| But sometimes there are situations where you need an older version of software. In my specific case, Yarn was compiled against an older version of icu4c, and I want that older version instead of recompiling Yarn. | |
| $ yarn install | |
| dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.61.dylib | |
| Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/node | |
| Reason: image not found | |
| Trace/BPT trap: 5 | |
| Listing Older Versions | |
| First, let's get to the location where the homebrew Formulas are stored. | |
| $ cd $(brew --prefix)/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula | |
| Next, we need to look for the git to commit to the version we want | |
| $ git log --follow icu4c.rb | |

| icu4c 61.1 | |
| Now that we have committed the commit 6d981, we can create a new branch with that commit | |
| $ git checkout -b icu4c-61.1 6d9815 | |
| Switched to a new branch 'icu4c-61.1' | |
| Then we can proceed to install the Formula | |
| $ brew reinstall ./icu4c.rb | |
| Then I can switch to the older version | |
| $ brew switch icu4c 61.1 |
This is amazing! works for me

There was an update to the software for version 61.1 and hence SHA hash changed.
What should I do? Thank you!
cd $(brew --prefix)/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula
git checkout 6d9815
brew reinstall ./icu4c.rb
git checkout master
This worked perfectly, saved my day, thanks! <3
