Prerequisites
Install Solus’ Base Development Tools:
# This will provide items such as clang, gcc, make, a multitude of devel sub-packages, and more.
# Solus' system.devel is similar to packages on other operating systems, such as Debian’s build-essentials.
sudo eopkg install -c system.devel
The solbuild package could be required to build dependencies of some Linuxbrew formulae:
sudo eopkg install solbuild
Install Linuxbrew
The actual Linuxbrew setup consists of two steps, installation and shell profile customization:
Installation
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Shell Configuration
Then add its binary path to your shell’s profile:
# bash: $HOME/.bashrc
# zsh: $HOME/.zshrc
PATH="/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
Install a brew from a local formula
Finally, I wanted to install termtosvg via Linuxbrew but it’s not yet available as a public formula. However, there was an open pull request that contained the required ruby file which I saved as $HOME/termtosvg.rb and installed with brew install "$HOME/termtosvg.rb".
# termtosvg.rb
class Termtosvg < Formula
include Language::Python::Virtualenv
desc "Record terminal sessions as SVG animations"
homepage "https://nbedos.github.io/termtosvg"
url "https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg/archive/0.6.0.tar.gz"

def install
venv = virtualenv_create(libexec, "python3")
system libexec/"bin/pip", "install", "-U", "-e", ".[dev]"
venv.pip_install_and_link buildpath
bin.install_symlink libexec/"bin/termtosvg"
end
test do
testfile = testpath/"test.svg"
exec("echo \"termtosvg-test\nexit\" | #{bin}/termtosvg #{testfile} && grep -q termtosvg-test #{testfile}")
end
end
