I try to install boost using homebrew, and when i try, this happens:

admin:~ Admin$ brew install boost
Warning: No available formula with the name "boost".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

Specifing version doesnt help either:

```bash
admin:~ Admin$ brew install [email protected]
Warning: No available formula with the name "[email protected]".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.

Error: No formulae found in taps.

you seemed to join a WiiU Homebrew discord for help, but imma still try to help you with your issue.

Does brew install [email protected] work for you?

If it still returns the same Issue, please try following things:

1. brew update after that, try installing boost again.
2. (Only do if #1 didnt work) brew update-reset after that try installing boost again. [Note: this will destroy all your uncommitted or committed changes in any Homebrew repository]
3. (do this if the other 2 failed) git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout -- Formula/boost.rb followed by trying to install boost again.

Hope this helps

Apparently rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core; brew update fixed it!
