brew change package install location

Question

How can I change where Homebrew will install a package? Is this even possible? I tried manually moving the installed folder in /usr/local/Cellar, but the dynamic linking is "hardwired" for that location.

No it’s not possible. You can change the location of the whole Homebrew install (e.g. in ~/homebrew instead of /usr/local) but you can’t change the location of one package.
