Make brew-installed apps available to superuser?
Hey there. I've installed Neovim via Homebrew, but the superuser can't seem to use it (via
sudo nvim). How can I make Homebrew-installed apps available to the superuser?Solution:Jump to solution
Figured this one out myself and wanted to share the answer so that others could benefit... or maybe so that someone could tell me I did it wrong. 😅

Vim is pre-installed
Just remove the one you did via brew

rpm-ostree install neovim
brew cannot run as rootSeems to be working. What am I missing here? I can now run
sudo nvim and it works.
