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 FolksonSep 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– noitseuqSep 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 FolksonSep 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 FolksonSep 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
