I followed this doc http://docs.grafana.org/installation/mac/ and ran command brew install --HEAD grafana/grafana/grafana
But , it installs Grafana Build 4.6.3, how could I install https://grafana.com/grafana/download/5.0.0-11923beta4?platform=linux Beta build or nightly builds on Mac?

does brew reinstall --HEAD grafana/grafana/grafana work?

Nope. getting error Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

I had to brew uninstall grafana then brew install grafana --head to get past the grunt error.

In my case it works only with:

brew install grafana --HEAD
