# Dart for Homebrew
This is the official [Dart][] tap for [homebrew][].
Mac users can use these formulae to easily install and update Dart SDK. Both dev and stable channels are supported.
## Initial setup
If you don't have homebrew, install it from their [homepage][homebrew].
Then, add this tap:
```
brew tap dart-lang/dart
```
## Installing
To install the Dart SDK:
```
brew install dart
```
Tip: Once installed, homebrew will print the path to the Dart SDK. Use this path to configure Dart support
in your IDE (like WebStorm).
## Updating
Simply run:
```
brew update
brew upgrade dart
```
## Dev Releases
To install dev channel releases, instead of the stable ones, add a `--head`
flag after the brew commands:
```shell
brew install dart --head
```
Note, when updating dev releases, homebrew doesn't always update to the latest version
(see https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/13197). In order to upgrade to
the latest dev release, run:
```shell
brew reinstall dart
```
## Specific stable versions
To install a specific dart version run `brew install [email protected]`.
This installs the latest `2.8` release including security patches, i.e. `2.8.1`.
To use the specific version in your IDE or in scripts use the SDK you find under `/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/libexec`.
It is supported to install multiple dart versions in parallel. The `dart` executable
in `PATH` will continue to link to the `dart` or `dart-beta` formula.
Installing `[email protected]` alone doesn't add the `dart` executable to the user `PATH`.
## SDK path
Many tools, such as editors, ask you to specify the Dart SDK installation directory.
After installing via homebrew you can use the path `HOMEBREW_INSTALL/opt/dart/libexec`,
where `HOMEBREW_INSTALL` is the path to your homebrew installation directory (running
`brew --prefix` on the command line will display it).
