I was surprised to see there was no homebrew recipe for 6.3.0 yet and no open PR so I set about creating a PR myself. I ran into some issues with `brew audit --strict` and, after some digging, found [this is why there is no 6.3.0 recipe](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/28993). If you are on Mac and want to upgrade, I hope this saves you some time! ---

Is there a plan or timeframe for a solution? I use my mac for development and I'm not going to resort to something like docker for this. ---

I wish I knew. 6.3.0 was released six weeks ago, so I'm surprised nothing has happened on this. Could someone from Elastic shed some light on this? ---

I've pinged some people internally to see if we can push things along. Apologies for the delays. ---

Thanks Mark! I'm looking forward to trying some of the new features in 6.3. ---

6.4 just released - is homebrew support abandoned, or its something that you still have hope/plans to support? Is there another recommended install method for OSX? ---

We haven't been able to publish +6.3.0 versions due to licensing issues. Please, follow up here for more details [https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/28995](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/28995) ---

Considering there is a full OSS version at [Past Releases of Elastic Stack Software | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-oss), I don't understand why this should be. Can you please elaborate? The reason given in one of the github issues is: > Briefly, the x-pack folder is integrated into our build scripts for some of the projects (if not all, I can’t check right now) so removing it at build time or providing a source tarball without the x-pack folder would not be possible at this time. But considering there is an OSS build available from that page which also has installers for different platforms (win/deb/rpm - just not mac), I find that answer lacking. So I return to my previous question: > is homebrew support abandoned, or its something that you still have hope/plans to support? Is there another recommended install method for OSX? ---

It's not abandoned. We are currently working on eventually providing the latest versions again. ---
