Homebrew, -bash: qemu: command not found OSX El Capitan

Question

I'm trying to install qemu on my mac. I used Homebrew, and it seems like it has been successfully installed.

🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/qemu/2.6.0: 123 files, 127.4M

But when I try to use it I have:

-bash: qemu: command not found

The output of ls /usr/local/Cellar/qemu/2.6.0/bin is:

I now now that the problem is that the qemu file is missing. I still wonder why and how to fix it

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Just to add on the answer of Lutarisco: to check if it's correctly installed:

$ qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 4.0.0

Answer 2

Did you try to install it using brew install qemu?

I did that and got the same error. What I did instead was sudo port install qemu and it worked fine.
