It means the formula is installed only into the Cellar and is not linked into /usr/local. This means most tools will not find it. You can see why a formula was installed as keg-only, and instructions to include it in your PATH, by running brew info <formula>. You can still link in the formula if you need to with brew link <formula>, though this can cause unexpected behaviour if you are shadowing macOS software. ----- Apparently you need --force. Paolo
