screenshot of actual error message

I have tried all the alternative ways to install jenkins on my macbook air but with no lack. I will appreciate anyone with the current solution to this.

This is the error message I get after running brew install jenkins:

Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula or cask with the name "jenkins".
It was migrated from homebrew/cask to homebrew/core.

I also get a "fata" message

fatal: Needed a single revision

I am very knew to Jenkins and trying to learn usage.

Run this command in terminal:

rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)

Then try:

 brew install jenkins

It works

Have a look on this page : https://www.jenkins.io/download/lts/macos/

You must use brew install jenkins-lts to install jenkins.

  • I tried that already and these are the errors: ``` Error: No similarly named formulae found. Error: No available formula or cask with the name "jenkins-lts". ==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)... Error: No previously deleted formula found. ==> Searching taps on GitHub... Error: No formulae found in taps. ``` – Deiv Apr 23 '21 at 08:05
  • Ok look at this [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39619889/homebrew-fatal-needed-a-single-revision-macos-sierra) This command should fix the fatal error : `cd $(brew --repository) && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master` Retry after to install jenkins – Guido Mista Apr 23 '21 at 08:12
