How to download a binary from brew without installing brew? I want a software package that exists in the Homebrew package manager, but I don't want to install brew for it.
How can I get a pre-built binary for my macOS?
Go to https://brew.sh  or https://formulae.brew.sh and search the tool of interest.
On the formula page, like Qt5 https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qt#default, click the JSON file link: https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula/qt.json
Find the link to the binary which is hosted at https://bintray.com as of now in the field named &quot;url&quot;. Download the binary for your macOS version which can be found in the url itself.
