1 year ago Older versions of the installer are just as unsupported as older versions of the script. Homebrew only supports the latest versions of its tools.
Anything could be wrong with that older version.

installoruninstallscript?brew configandbrew doctorand included their output with your issue? If you couldn't install: provided your OS version with the output of your issue?What you were trying to do (and why)
I can successfully run the install script. However, I'm trying to install a specific version of homebrew instead of whatever version the script chooses. The reason for this is so that we can standardize our CI and development environment on consistent versions of our dependencies without having to rely on "whatever the script chooses". Hence, I'm trying to run the .pkg installer downloaded from the releases page, specifically for version 4.1.16. Please note that if there is a way to run the script and elect for a specific version, LMK and I can give that a try - I'm sure it'd work given that the script works for me in general, I just cannot control the version.
I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.0 on an Intel Mac. I did not run the script and obviously did not run

When I run the installer, it eventually fails with just the output:
The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
