Hello Christine, I can't really imagine why the homebrew formula should be gone (according to http://braumeister.org/formula/basex there are several versions available), but I am not a mac user myself, so I can't check.
However, the simplest way imho for all operating systems to start BaseX is to download the zip distribution at http://basex.org/products/download/all-downloads/ and to simply start bin/basexgui (or in case of windows bin/basexgui.bat) - This should be all it takes to start BaseX! No installation or setup neccessary, you should be good to go.
