It shows "'brew' is not recognized as an internal or external command" in windows command prompt.
I am trying to install codeigniter-reactjs-example from github, where first command is brew
.
How to run this command to install that project in Windows..?
Homebrew is MacOS only command line installer application and it doesn't exist for Windows. The Windows alternatives are: Chocolatey. Npackd.
When enabled, you are able to download and run the command line interface for various Linux distributions as a Windows app. The recent release of Homebrew 2.0 brings official support for Linux and Windows 10 (through WSL). This is based on a fork of Homebrew known as Linuxbrew.
The Homebrew package manager may be used on Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Homebrew was formerly referred to as Linuxbrew when running on Linux or WSL. It can be installed in your home directory, in which case it does not use sudo.
Edit: Homebrew is also usable on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) since version 2.0.0 (released February 2019), as detailed by @VonC's answer below. The instructions for installation/use are available at:

Not anymore, 19 months later (Feb. 2019, compared to July 2017)
At least, not on Windows 10, in a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) session.
As mentioned by Mike McQuaid
Homebrew 2.0.0 has been released (at @FOSDEM!) with official Linux and Windows 10 WSL support,
brew cleanup
running automatically (opt-out withHOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP
), no more options in Homebrew/core and no longer running on OS X 10.8 and older.
See Homebrew 2.0.0.
“Homebrew on Linux” is called “
Linuxbrew
”.
You can install it in your home directory, so it does not requiresudo
, and use it to install software that your host distribution’s package manager does not provide.Linuxbrew
uses its own repository for formulae:Linuxbrew/homebrew-core
.
So again, this is not native Windows support, but Linux (through the WSL layer, on Windows 10).
