Hello, community.

Previously I've shared news about [Ignition via Homebrew](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-via-homebrew/42537) for macOS, and today I'd like to announce Ignition for Linux via Homebrew.

### Why Homebrew?

Because this all started when I was running macOS on my now ten-year old MacBook Air, and since I switched to Ubuntu 22.10 I had a way to tweak and test Ignition via my Homebrew Tap ([coatl-dev/coatl-dev](https://github.com/coatl-dev/homebrew-coatl-dev)).

To learn more about Homebrew for Linux, visit the [official site](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux).

### How do I install Ignition on Linux via Homebrew?

As easy as

1. Install Homebrew

2. Tap `coatl-dev`

3. Install `ignition`

4. Start `ignition`

5. Open your browser and go to `http://localhost:8088` and provision your Gateway

### Updating `ignition` on Linux via Homebrew

Usually when Inductive Automation releases a new version for Ignition I make the changes to the Formula and have it ready the same day or within a day, but if I'm not quick enough feel free to create a Pull Request.

But this is what I recommend:

1. Run `brew update && brew outdated`
2. If there's an update for `ignition`, run `ignition stop`
3. Then `brew upgrade ignition`
4. Finally, `ignition start`

You can also `pin` your `ignition` by running `brew pin ignition`, and `unpin` it whenever you're ready to upgrade.

```sh
$ brew pin ignition
$ brew list --pinned
ignition

```

### Final comments

Thanks for reading.
