I'm trying to install paramiko on my MacBook Pro (OSX Sierra) without going through Xcode because I'm too lazy to install Xcode honestly.

When trying to run:

brew install paramiko

I get:

Error: No available formula with the name "paramiko"
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

I've tried untapping home-brew via:

brew untap homebrew

And I get:

Error: No available tap homebrew/php.

Also tried:

brew tap --repair
brew update

Nothing besides:

Updated 1 tap (caskroom/cask).
No changes to formulae.

If I have to go through Xcode, that's fine but I feel the issue here is not the installation process but something weird with the taps...

This worked for me.

run brew doctor

Warning: Some taps are not on the default git origin branch and may not receive updates. If this is a surprise to you, check out the default branch with: git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout master

then run git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
