Homebrew installation in mac is giving error

I want to install homebrew on my mac system but i am not able to install. Installation process is giving me error.
error: could not lock config file /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/config: Permission denied
fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0'

and install it again without using sudo:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

the location have change so now use this :
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
and install again with :
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Chown failure on Mac when attempting to install mobile device drivers for Appium via homebrew

After Appium did not recognize uid, I tried installing it with this command:
brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD
That gave me the following error:
Error: /usr/local/Homebrew is not writable. You should change the
ownership and permissions of /usr/local/Homebrew back to your
user account:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/Homebrew
Error: Permission denied # rb_sysopen - >
/usr/local/var/homebrew/locks/libimobiledevice.formula.lock
So, i copypastad and ran that chown command. It does not complain and seems to run. But, when I run the first command again, I still get the same error message.
Could someone help me resolve this?
edit:
I ran this command:
ls -ld /usr/local/Homebrew
This was the output:
drwxr-xr-x 17 1791192515 wheel 544 Mar 2 12:08 /usr/local/Homebrew
I ran this command:
ls -l /usr/local/var/homebrew/locks/libimobiledevice.formula.lock
This was the output:
No such file or directory

these are the steps I took to solve this problem
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local
then:
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /Library/Caches/Homebrew
then:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Before trying again to run:
brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD

Java Homebrew installation

I am trying to install Homebrew on my Mac, for use with Java development. I have followed the instructions at: https://brew.sh, and pasted the command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" into my terminal.
When I do this, a few scripts are executed, and I get the output:
MacBook-Pro:~ me$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
==> This script will install:

So the output is telling me that it's already up-to-date, presumably because I've already tried installing it once or twice?
How can I delete the paths to run brew update, like it's telling me to?

I encountered this error. The fix is to run the command sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local/* as described on the Tech Stacker blog post that solves this issue.
