    copied!<p>Problem solved by manually defining <code>ENV['HOME']</code> in the <code>/usr/local/Library/brew.rb</code> file:</p> <pre><code>ENV['HOME'] = "/Users/quanta" </code></pre> <p>$ sudo salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades</p> <pre><code>MacBook-Pro.local: - freetype - imagemagick - libpng - mysql - passenger - pixman - redis - zeromq </code></pre> <p>but my question still stand: why can't the Salt the <code>HOME</code> environment variable?</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE Sun Dec 8 15:26:03 ICT 2013</strong></p> <p>Since <code>salt-minion</code> is started via <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/launchctl.1.html" rel="nofollow">launchctl</a>:</p> <p><code>com.saltstack.minion.plist</code></p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Label&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.saltstack.minion&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;ProgramArguments&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;/usr/local/bin/salt-minion&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;RunAtLoad&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; </code></pre> <p>a question comes up to my mind: how to specify an environment variable in a launchd script? And the answer is:</p> <p><a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/launchd.plist.5.html" rel="nofollow"><code>man launchd.plist</code></a>:</p> <pre><code>EnvironmentVariables &lt;dictionary of strings&gt; This optional key is used to specify additional environmental variables to be set before running the job. </code></pre> <p>so I added the following into the plist file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;HOME&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;/Users/quanta&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; </code></pre> <p>then restarted the minion service, and now it's working fine.</p>
