docs: Install lower CLI version using Homebrew

[pdax-johnlester]

Description

Is there any way to install lower version of mason_cli using homebrew? I accidentally upgraded it to 0.1.0-dev.45 and my Flutter SDK (3.3.4) and Dart SDK (2.18.2) is not yet supported. Is there any option to revert it back?

Thank you so much.

Hi @pdax-johnlester 👋 Thanks for opening an issue!

You should be able to install a specific version either via brew or pub:

# Install specific version via brew extract
TAP=felangel/mason
MODULE=mason
VERS=0.1.0-dev.42
brew tap-new $TAP
brew extract --version $VERS $MODULE $TAP
brew install $TAP/$MODULE@$VERS

# Install a specific version via dart pub global activate <version>
dart pub global activate mason_cli 0.1.0-dev.40

Let me know if that helps 👍

Hi @felangel, thanks for the response.

I try to install it via pub and it actually works.

Can you include these options on the documentation?

Glad to hear you got it working! They should already be covered in https://docs.brickhub.dev/installing. Do you feel there’s something missing?

I think we should add a section here how to switch versions via pub and homebrew.

In order for other developers to know how to do it. 😁
