Need help installing Jujutsu on Fedora.

[wolfv6]

I installed Jujutsu on Fedora 40, but jj won't run:

$ jj
bash: jj: command not found...

Here is how I installed Jujutsu.
First I installed linux Homebrew and then installed jujutsu as described in the instructions:

$ brew install jj
.
.
.
==> Installing jj
==> Pouring jj--0.19.0.x86_64_linux.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
Bash completion has been installed to:
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/etc/bash_completion.d
==> Summary
🍺  /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/jj/0.19.0: 14 files, 18.7MB
==> Running `brew cleanup jj`...
Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
==> No outdated dependents to upgrade!
==> Checking for dependents of upgraded formulae...
Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALLED_DEPENDENTS_CHECK.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
=> Reinstalling 1 dependent with broken linkage from source:
jj
==> Caveats
==> jj

then I tried to run jujutsu:

$ jj
bash: jj: command not found...

Here is what is on my Fedora 40:

$ which jj
/usr/bin/which: no jj in (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin:/home/wolfv/miniconda3/bin:/home/wolfv/miniconda3/bin:/home/wolfv/.local/bin:/home/wolfv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin:/home/wolfv/scripts)

$ ls -l /home/wolfv/.cache/Homebrew/jj--0.19.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 wolfv wolfv 113 Jul 17 21:34 /home/wolfv/.cache/Homebrew/jj--0.19.0 -> downloads/02e146add52db8f232780c75858bebeb4d681cb772ec48d44bf9dcfb8c618bb3--jj--0.19.0.x86_64_linux.bottle.tar.gz

$ /home/wolfv/.cache/Homebrew/jj--0.19.0
bash: /home/wolfv/.cache/Homebrew/jj--0.19.0: Permission denied

Why won't jj run?

[ilyagr]

From the little I know about Homebrew, perhaps brew link jj might help or produce a useful error message?

I wonder what it means when it says "Reinstalling 1 dependent with broken linkage from source:" above. Perhaps that's something to search the interwebs for.

#4115 might also be relevant, I'm unsure.

Thanks ilyagr. It was a Homebrew issue after all.

Linux users should just basically never use homebrew... it's a huge pile of junk.

instead you should be using your OS pkg manager, or Mise.
