 The binary is self-contained and requires no installation - it is ready to run as is.
 
+Alternatively, on macOS or Linux with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
+
+```sh
+brew install victoriametrics/tap/victoriametrics
+```
+
+This installs the same release binary as `victoria-metrics` and also provides a `brew services start victoriametrics` service definition.

 ### Step 2: Start VictoriaMetrics

 ## tip
 
+* FEATURE: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/) and [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmctl/): both can now be installed from the official [Homebrew tap](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/homebrew-tap) with `brew install victoriametrics/tap/victoriametrics` and `brew install victoriametrics/tap/vmctl`. The formulas install the prebuilt release binaries and include a service definition for `victoria-metrics`.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/), [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/), `vmstorage` and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): expose the `vm_app_prev_shutdown_unclean` gauge. It is set to `1` when the previous process run didn't shut down cleanly. Added the `UncleanShutdown` [alerting rule](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/deployment/docker/rules/alerts-health.yml), which fires for 10 minutes after an unclean shutdown is detected. See [#8443](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/8443).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#vmui): show the selected time zone UTC offset next to the date/time controls and allow opening time zone settings from it. See [#11332](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11332).
 * FEATURE: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/), [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/), [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmalert/), and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): show how the default value is calculated for command-line flags which derive it from the number of available CPU cores. For example, `-maxConcurrentInserts` now prints `(default 16 = 2*cgroup.AvailableCPUs())` in `-help` output instead of `(default 16)`. Updated flags: `-search.maxConcurrentRequests`, `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`, `-fs.maxConcurrency`, `-remoteWrite.concurrency`, `-remoteWrite.queues`. See [#9680](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/9680). Thanks to @Vandit1604 for contribution.
