Installed heroku-toolbelt with homebrew, and foreman isn't included

Question

I'm using the homebrew package manager on Mac OSX, and I've installed the heroku-toolbelt package, which is supposed to include git, heroku CLI, and foreman. It only seems to include the first two:

$ brew info heroku-toolbelt
heroku-toolbelt: stable 3.20.0
https://toolbelt.heroku.com/other
/usr/local/Cellar/heroku-toolbelt/3.20.0 (438 files, 3.5M) *
Built from source
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/heroku-toolbelt.rb
$ which heroku
/usr/local/bin/heroku
$ which foreman
$ heroku --version
heroku-toolbelt/3.21.4 (x86_64-darwin13.0) ruby/2.1.2
$ foreman
bash: foreman: command not found

Any ideas why it's not appearing? Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If the heroku-toolbelt is installed through homebrew, you have the standalone version, as Daniel said.

If you like to install foreman as standalone as well, but with a package manager, you can install it as a gem:

gem install foreman

or

sudo gem install foreman

depending on how your ruby is setup.

More install info on foreman can be found on it's homepage.

Answer 2

The heroku-toolbelt being shipped within homebrew is the 'standalone' version. This version includes 'Heroku client' only.

What you can do is get the Mac OS X version. Then you can either use 'Heroku client' and 'Foreman' from there, or select to install 'Foreman' only (keeping the 'Heroku client' from homebrew).

Forgot one thing. You can also download foreman from the source. – Tittletattle

https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/692 Starting August 12, 2015, new Heroku Toolbelt installs will not come with Foreman. The command heroku local has replaced foreman.
