Error: No head is defined for smpeg

Question

I am trying to install SimpleCV, I am following the instructions here (https://github.com/sightmachine/SimpleCV#mac-os-x-106-and-above).

But when I try to install smpeg, using these commands:

brew tap homebrew/headonly
brew install --HEAD smpeg

I am getting this error:

Error: No head is defined for smpeg

I have tried to wait and run the command again but that did not work.

These instructions are outdated.

--HEAD is used to install a formula’s HEAD, i.e. the latest commit on its Git/SVN/etc repository. This option has been removed from smpeg, hence the error message. Using brew install smpeg is now sufficient.

I submitted a PR to fix these.

Thanks for the clarification, that's exactly what I did and it worked. – Wanderer May 29 '17 at 09:22

UPDATE I removed --HEAD then it worked. I don't know why.
