code-server installation issues on Mojave

Question

I wanted to install code-server on my Macbook pro, mojave 10.14.6, following instructions provided here https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/master/doc/guide.md

While trying to install using given command: curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh I get following errors:

macOS v10.14.6 Installing from Homebrew.

• brew install code-server Error: No available formula with the name "code-server" ==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)... Warning: homebrew/core is shallow clone. To get complete history run: git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" fetch --unshallow

Error: No previously deleted formula found. ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching taps... ==> Searching taps on GitHub... Error: No formulae found in taps.

What can be the issue?

brew install code-server should simply work.

==> Caveats
The launchd service runs on http://127.0.0.1:8080. Logs are located at /usr/local/var/log/code-server.log.

To have launchd start code-server now and restart at login:
  brew services start code-server
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  code-server
