I just installed Homebrew on Windows using the Linux Bash Shell but I have this error when I run brew doctor :

Error: No available formula with the name "pkg-config"

what can i do?

First, update Homebrew so it is pulling from the right resources: brew update Run brew doctor again.

If the same error occurs, try doing a brew search pkg-config and see which results come up. I've had cases where the path to the package was different than usual. Pick one of the search results, and then do a brew install with the package path from the search results: brew install /homebrew/searchresultpath/pkg-config

Hopefully the correct path for the extension will solve your problem.
