How to install Python 3.7 via homebrew on OS X

Question

I need to rollback my homebrew-managed python 3.8 to 3.7.

I have tried the approach from Homebrew: Rollback from Python 3.7 to Python 3.6.5.x? - Ask Different. So I unlinked 3.8, but my python.rb URL for 3.7 seems to be wrong. I used:

brew install --ignore-dependencies https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/eb6d8719c1880dd7c5d03a49c45ab40509fc2927/Formula/python.rb

and with this I get the following error:

"Calling Non-checksummed download of python formula file from an arbitrary URL is disabled."

What is the correct command to install Python 3.7 via homebrew?

Answer 1

The easiest way to install python 3.7 is from Homebrew using the following command: brew install python@3.7
