I installed some packages via brew. But I can not find where they are.
I can not get access by typing hping on terminal
% brew install hping
(git)-[master]
Warning: hping-3.20051105 already installed
Use the following to show the installation path of a package:
brew info hping

12Is it possible to get only path? In my case I want to use clang from llvm and after "brew install llvm" clang is still apple's, but one from llvm binaries is what I need. – okutane Sep 9 '16 at 6:51

4@okutane You would need to assemble the path yourself. As a crude example, you could do
echo "$(brew --cellar llvm)/$(brew list --versions llvm | tr ' ' '\n' | tail -1)/bin/clang"– nburr Mar 7 '18 at 16:37 -
2Depending on your specific needs,
brew --prefix hping(from @capripot's answer) may do the trick. – waldyrious Jan 4 '19 at 17:59
To figure out where your formula is installed, do
brew --prefix hping
You can also relink your hping binary by doing brew unlink hping && brew link hping
Also maybe your $PATH is not well defined. Does the list given by echo $PATH contains the result given by echo $(brew --prefix)'/bin:'$(brew --prefix)'/sbin'? This path should be toward the beginning of the list to be prioritized over system binaries, surely before /usr/bin.
To do so, you can add this at the end of your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
export PATH=$(brew --prefix)/bin:$(brew --prefix)/sbin:$PATH
As a result, after opening a new terminal or doing source ~/.zshrc, you'll be able to echo your correct path as:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

The /usr/local/Cellar directory is the default location on OS X. You'll see sub-directories in there for all your installed formulae.
Normally, homebrew installs packages into /usr/local/bin. So you need to check that your PATH contains that directory, like this:
echo $PATH
Also, try running
brew doctor
to make sure your setup is correct. If /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH, you need to edit ~/.profile and add a line like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
Then start a new Terminal (in order to re-read your login profile) and try again.
If all that fails, it must be installed somewhere else. You can search for it by running a command like this:
sudo find / -name hping -type f
Try this command
brew --cellar <FORMULA>
e.g.
brew --cellar hping
I could find any direct CLI option in brew to get the full path to the currently installed version of a formula but this would work as long as you are using bash:
echo $(brew --cellar asciidoctor)/$(brew info --json asciidoctor | jq -r '.[0].installed[0].version')
# /usr/local/Cellar/asciidoctor/1.5.8

This is not entirely correct if you have more than one version installed in the Cellar. – shadowbq Feb 8 '20 at 1:37
hping requires root privileges to run.
You probably need to add /usr/local/sbin to your PATH.
When I ran brew doctor:
Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting the PATH for example like so
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
I recommend adding the following line to your ~/.bash_profile (or the equivalent configuration file if you are using a different shell):
export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications"
To find your base installation directory for Homebrew, use one of the following commands:
brew --prefix
brew --cellar
The latter specifically returns the path of your Cellar folder.
I installed some packages via brew. But I can not find where they are.
It seems that homebrew requires one to be explicit with things. Fortunately, a bit of escaping using brew --prefix can make this a no-brainer, for those who need to find the path for the pkg-config utility, e.g.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`brew --prefix hping`/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --cflags hping
(Except this isn't going to work anyway, because it seems hping doesn't come with hping.pc .. although, in the case where package maintainers do put .pc files, this trick can be useful.)
If someone looking for real path of package:
In my case brew --cellar opencv3 gives /usr/local/Cellar/opencv
But find /usr/local/Cellar/ -type d -name "*opencv*" -maxdepth 1 gives
/usr/local/Cellar//opencv3(which is /usr/local/Cellar/opencv3 actually).
Headers:
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv3/3.4.1_1/include/
Libs:
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv3/3.4.1_1/lib/
For anyone that lands here after googling, and/or for anyone who wants a list of packages that are installed as keg only, you can get this info from the brew JSON output.
List all installed packages:
brew info --json --installed
List keg only packages (jq tool required):
brew info --json --installed | jq -r '.[] | select(.keg_only == true) | .name'
List the path for keg only packages (again, jq tool required):
brew info --json --installed | jq -r '.[] | select(.keg_only == true) | .name' | while read name; do brew --prefix $name; done
