HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 still updates?

[FreQRiDeR]

I entered ‘HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install mplayer’ and brew has been downloading new packages? Python 3.11 etc... It appears to be updating anyways? I have super slow internet and it’s taking forever! Multiple sessions over 3 days! I just want to grab a package! Lol! Granted, I am on Mojave, (unsupported) and it’s an old clone that hasn’t been updated in a long time? Is HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE superseded by incompatible packages/OS or am I doing something wrong? I’m afraid AUTO_UPDATE will break my brew install!

The environment variable is called HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE for a reason: it stop automatic brew update runs before brew install.

And there's no HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPGRADE environment variable, also for a reason: https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#why-does-brew-upgrade-formula-or-brew-install-formula-also-upgrade-a-bunch-of-other-stuff
