Install and run Homebrew CLI packages in an isolated prefix

zerobrew is a fast Homebrew-compatible package manager written in Rust. It downloads Linux bottles, resolves dependencies, caches packages and provides install, upgrade, uninstall, Brewfile and run commands.

This strict snap keeps packages in its own writable prefix. Run installed command-line tools with zerobrew run <formula> [arguments] or zerobrew.zbx <formula> [arguments]. Those tools remain confined.

Host Homebrew migration, source builds and host-wide installation are not supported. Packages that need host tools, fixed system paths, desktop integration, devices or services may not work. No compiler toolchain or Ruby runtime is bundled. Package compatibility varies by architecture.
