Homebrew can't install Watchman: No similarly named formulae found | MacOS Big Sur

Homebrew error screen capture

enter image description here

Anybody know why my Homebrew can't install any packages and keep showing this error?

I've tried to install watchman but homebrew shows me this error, then I tried to install other packages but still, this error shows up. I already tried to install and reinstall homebrew using /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh).

Please help 🙏

I had this issue. Turns out I had smooth brain and had just ended the Homebrew installation before it was complete, because it looked like it had stopped and I assumed it was complete.

To resolve it, I uninstalled Homebrew, removed the whole Homebrew directory, reinstalled it using the install_brew.sh file from the github, and made sure to let the full install finish and return me to the command line. Then installing watchman worked as expected.
