I have installed bitcoin-core with Homebrew on my MacOS, but the only package installed is Bitcoin-Qt. How do I also install bitcoin-cli?
(Just want to play with the commands for learning.)

I didn't know you could brew install Bitcoin Core until your question. If you download Bitcoin Core from bitcoincore.org bitcoin-cli is included. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case for the brew install but this is the first time I've seen it– Michael FolksonCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 12:56

1@MichaelFolkson Homebrew installs the same .dmg published on the official website, take a look: formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/bitcoin-core.json– noitseuqCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 13:54

Indeed, so it includes the bitcoin-cli. Don't know why the OP doesn't have it. Maybe not following the Core docs on how to access it?– Michael FolksonCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 14:06

Are you following these instructions for accessing the bitcoin-cli? You should have it installed github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/…– Michael FolksonCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 14:16

This will install bitcoind and bitcoin-cli:
$ brew install bitcoin
This is how you install Bitcoin Core (MacOS app with UI):
$ brew install --cask bitcoin-core
