Homebrew install¶
Tap: naveenreddyalka/homebrew-daari · formula source at
Formula/daari.rb
Install¶
brew tap naveenreddyalka/daari
brew trust naveenreddyalka/daari
brew install daari
Then pull a local model and start the daemon:
ollama pull llama3.2:3b
daari serve
daari doctor
Why brew trust is required¶
Homebrew 6 refuses to load a formula from a third-party tap until it is trusted:
$ brew info daari
Error: Refusing to load formula naveenreddyalka/daari/daari from untrusted tap naveenreddyalka/daari.
Run `brew trust --formula naveenreddyalka/daari/daari` or `brew trust naveenreddyalka/daari` to trust it.
This is a deliberate Homebrew safeguard, not a problem with the tap. Trust is per-machine, so each new install needs it once.
What the formula builds¶
daari itself is pure Python, but two dependencies ship Rust extensions —
pydantic-core and watchfiles — and the formula builds them from sdist, hence
depends_on "rust" => :build. Expect the first install to pull the Rust
toolchain.
The formula declares a resource block for all 30 transitive runtime
dependencies. Homebrew builds without network access, so
virtualenv_install_with_resources installs only what is declared; a missing
resource produces a daari that cannot import its own dependencies.
Maintaining the formula¶
Never hand-edit it. Both the release tarball hash and every resource block are generated:
python scripts/update_formula.py --version X.Y.Z
Then copy the result into the tap repo. The formula job in publish.yml opens a
PR with the regenerated file after each release.
To validate changes without touching the public tap, use a throwaway local tap —
brew fetch verifies every checksum and installs nothing:
brew tap-new --no-git naveenreddyalka/formulatest
cp Formula/daari.rb "$(brew --repository naveenreddyalka/formulatest)/Formula/"
brew fetch --formula --build-from-source naveenreddyalka/formulatest/daari
brew untap naveenreddyalka/formulatest
