Contact @MikeMcQuaid if you are a maintainer and need access. + +Summaries of installation and error analytics are publicly available [here](https://brew.sh/analytics/). ## How? The code is viewable in [analytics.rb](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/utils/analytics.rb) and [analytics.sh](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/utils/analytics.sh). They are done in a separate background process and fail fast to avoid delaying any execution. They will fail immediately and silently if you have no network connection.
