Brew formulae install options

Formula Cookbook ¶ Adding optional steps might be helpful for you:

If you want to add an option:

class Yourformula < Formula
  ...
  option "with-ham", "Description of the option"
  option "without-spam", "Another description"

  depends_on "foo" => :optional  # will automatically add a with-foo option
  ...

And then to define the effects the options have:

if build.with? "ham"
  # note, no "with" in the option name (it is added by the build.with? method)
end

if build.without? "ham"
  # works as you'd expect. True if `--without-ham` was given.
end
