+### macOS / Linux (Homebrew)
+
+If you'd prefer a package manager over piping a script from the internet, install Safe Chain via our [Homebrew tap](https://github.com/AikidoSec/homebrew-tap):
+
+```shell
+brew install AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain
+safe-chain setup
+```
+
+After running `safe-chain setup`, restart your shell to pick up the new aliases. For CI/non-interactive environments use `safe-chain setup-ci` instead.
+
 ### Pinning to a specific version
 
 To install a specific version instead of the latest, replace `latest` with the version number in the URL (available from version 1.3.2 onwards):

+End-user install instructions live in the top-level [`README.md`](../README.md#macos--linux-homebrew). This page is for maintainers: how the tap is wired up and what one-time setup is required.

+```
+
+The `publish-homebrew` job in [`.github/workflows/build-and-release.yml`](../.github/workflows/build-and-release.yml) fires on `release.published` (i.e. when a maintainer publishes the draft release that `publish-binaries` created on the tag push). It:
+
+1. Downloads the release's `install-safe-chain.sh` asset (already has per-platform SHA256s baked in by the earlier `publish-binaries` step — see lines 76–86 of the workflow).
+2. Parses the four SHA256s it needs (macOS x64/arm64, Linux x64/arm64) out of the install script.
+3. Renders `Formula/safe-chain.rb` from a quoted heredoc template, substituting the new version and SHAs.
+4. Pushes the rendered formula to the `main` branch of `AikidoSec/homebrew-tap`.
+
+Prereleases are skipped (`if: ... && !github.event.release.prerelease`) so beta tags like `0.0.1-sha256-in-installer-beta` don't update the stable tap.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+This needs to happen exactly once. Until it's done, the `publish-homebrew` job will fail on the next release with a 404 on the tap-repo checkout (which is harmless — it doesn't block npm publish — but the job will appear red).
+
+### 1. Create the tap repository
+
+Create a new public repository under the AikidoSec organisation called **`homebrew-tap`** (the `homebrew-` prefix is required by `brew tap`; users will run `brew tap AikidoSec/tap` which expands to `AikidoSec/homebrew-tap`).
+
+```
+Owner:        AikidoSec
+Repository:   homebrew-tap
+Visibility:   Public
+Initialize:   Yes (add a README — anything will do, the workflow only touches Formula/safe-chain.rb)
+Default branch: main
+```
+
+No further repo configuration is required. The `Formula/` directory will be created by the workflow on the first publish.
+
+### 2. Create the token used by the workflow
+
+The workflow needs to push to `AikidoSec/homebrew-tap` from `AikidoSec/safe-chain`. The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` is scoped to the safe-chain repo only and cannot push cross-repo, so we need a token that grants write access to the tap repo.
+
+**Recommended:** a fine-grained personal access token from a maintenance bot account (or a deploy-token-style PAT), scoped to `AikidoSec/homebrew-tap` only.
+
+- Resource owner: `AikidoSec`
+- Repository access: **Only select repositories** → `AikidoSec/homebrew-tap`
+- Repository permissions: **Contents: Read and write**
+- Expiration: 1 year (set a calendar reminder; expired tokens silently break releases)
+
+Alternative: a GitHub App installation with `contents:write` on the tap repo and a step that exchanges the App's private key for an installation token. More secure for an org-owned automation but more setup. The PAT path is fine for a low-blast-radius tap.
+
+### 3. Add the token as a secret on `AikidoSec/safe-chain`
+
+Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret:
+
+- Name: `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN`
+- Value: the PAT (or App installation token) from step 2
+
+That's it. The next release published from `main` will populate `Formula/safe-chain.rb` in the tap.
+
+### 4. (Optional) Bootstrap with the current release
+
+If you want users to be able to `brew install AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain` immediately rather than waiting for the next release, manually trigger the workflow against the current tag:
+
+```sh
+gh workflow run "Create Release" --repo AikidoSec/safe-chain --ref <current-tag>
+```
+
+Or simply cut a patch release; the next normal release will populate the tap.
+
+## How users install
+
+```sh
+brew install AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain
+safe-chain setup
+```
+
+`brew install` downloads the prebuilt platform-specific binary from the GitHub release (verified against the SHA256 in the formula) and places it on PATH as `safe-chain`. The user then runs `safe-chain setup` (or `safe-chain setup-ci`) to install the shell aliases that wrap `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm`, `pip`, etc. This second step is the same as the one in the `curl | sh` install path; Homebrew doesn't (and shouldn't) modify user shell rc files at install time.
+
+## How users upgrade
+
+```sh
+brew upgrade safe-chain
+```
+
+The formula's `livecheck` block uses GitHub's `releases/latest` strategy, so `brew outdated` and Homebrew's auto-bump tooling pick up new versions automatically once the tap repo has been updated by the release workflow.
+
+## Testing the formula locally
+
+```sh
+brew tap AikidoSec/tap
+brew install --build-from-source AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain
+brew test AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain
+brew style $(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/aikidosec/homebrew-tap/Formula/safe-chain.rb
+brew audit --new --formula AikidoSec/tap/safe-chain
+```
+
+The PR that wired this up (#TBD) validated all four of these against the 1.5.3 release on macOS arm64 (Homebrew 5.1.11).
+
+## Future work
+
+- **Submission to `homebrew-core`:** A custom tap is the lowest-friction path. If we ever want `brew install safe-chain` (no tap prefix) to work, the formula needs to be submitted to Homebrew's central `homebrew-core` repo. That requires the project to meet [Homebrew's notability criteria](https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Formulae) and the formula to build from source (no prebuilt binaries) — which would mean either compiling the Node + pkg bundling in-formula or rewriting the wrapper in a compiled language. Not in scope right now.
+- **winget and Chocolatey:** Also requested in [#372](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/issues/372). Each has its own manifest format and release-time automation; they should be separate PRs.
