How can I accomplish this?
Remove the existing version.
Edit the formula.
This will bring it up in an editor; make sure your
$EDITORvariable is set to your preference (for me: TextMate)Change it, save it, try re-installing it.
Because most installs use pouring/bottles to install a precompiled binary, you will likely see no change unless you "build from source":
You can use
--formula /path/to/imagemagick.rbas an additional argument to the above command to ensurebrewis installing the formula that was edited.If you’re comfortable with git, you may also want to make a branch first, and do your edits in a branch to guard against data loss.
