Linux Installation via Homebrew
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EIM can also be installed on Linux using `Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>`_. This method works on most Linux distributions and is a good alternative if you prefer Homebrew over system package managers.
First, install Homebrew if you have not already:
.. code-block:: bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Then add the Espressif tap and install EIM:
.. code-block:: bash
# Add the Espressif tap
brew tap espressif/eim
# Install CLI only
brew install eim
# Or install GUI (includes CLI)
brew install --cask eim-gui
To update EIM later:
.. code-block:: bash
brew upgrade eim
# or
brew upgrade --cask eim-gui
.. note::
The GUI version requires a graphical environment and may have additional dependencies depending on your Linux distribution.
