It's a shame it still doesn't play well with more than one user on a system trying to install packages.

I have a work user and a personal user on my laptop. Brew won't let me use both at the same time without getting my hands dirty with creating groups, and even then it's not supported behaviour.

I ended up creating a homebrew user and giving my personal user sudo access to the homebrew user, which has seemed to work well so far (I may have had to give group read/execute access to all of /usr/local though)

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t think of that! I need to use Homebrew from two different users, too. Definitely going to try this.
