Homebrew suddenly stopped working, when i run any brew command i get following output:

Error: Failed to upgrade Homebrew Portable Ruby!
I already tried to remove the file portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz but it doesn't work and i couldn't find any helpful information about this error on Google.
Any help is appreciated.
There are several things that I can think of for your situation.
Your output has yosemite identifier, to be clear, MacOS Yosemite is actually 10.10.x, it is not in the current/latest homebrew support list, and also different from 10.14 Mojave in your problem title. So if you are actually using Mojave, you can keep your brew up to date and reinstall ruby.
The latest Ruby formula is actually 2.7.x, you might want to reinstall/upgrade (brew reinstall ruby/brew upgrade ruby).
In all, if you still run into an issue, please attach the outputs of brew config and brew doctor for troubleshooting.
Try brew update-reset and then try brew upgrade.
It's set portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz was already downloaded so I removed it and it went through henceforth.

I'm trying to install Homebrew on macOS. Once the installation finished, when I typed help I got:

Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby (and your system version is too old)!
I had the same question, and the solution is simple: remove the portable-ruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz you downloaded before.
rm /.../Library/Caches/Homebrew/portable-ruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
Try running brew update-reset in your terminal and then run brew upgrade in the same terminal.
"Homebrew install fails with Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby" helped me tremendously.
It would fail to install, because our company firewall was blocking certain downloads, like bottle, during the Homebrew update/install, but it was difficult to determine this because I would get the error above.
After removing the file, try
brew upgrade
brew update
on your personal Wifi or your phone's hotspot.
I fixed it.
First, I deleted the brew file that stores in the Library folder when using macOS.
The failure before was due to the connection. When I make sure the connection worked, it worked.
Remove the Homebrew Portable Ruby tar.gz from your Mac using:
rm <the path.tar.gz>
rm -rf <the path.tar.gz>
I've been automating this for years. There is a new something(?) in play during the Homebrew install.
I had the same error as above. I filed an issue report and got a response that fixed my problem:
CI=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
I'm not sure what prefixing with CI=1 does but all my automation issues went away.
To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above, then run:

and try again
my problem was:

Error: Failed to install ruby 2.6.8_1!
Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby (and your system version is too old)!
Fixed with opening the system app for terminal and installing Rosetta into the prompt. This happened after system update MacOS to 11.6.7
After resolving this brew did brew upgrade finish well.
Hope this helps someone.
Here is how I fixed it:
brew cleanup then brew upgrade
I'd like to install openCV to vectorize image, but there's a series error message regarding Xcode and Ruby.
First, I use terminal to install openCV, brew install opencv.
Then, I got error message indicating that the system doesn't like my ruby version.
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb:12:in `<main>':
Homebrew must be run under Ruby 2.3! You're running 2.0.0. (RuntimeError)
So, I want to upgrade my ruby. I followed several update strategy from this post. First ruby upgrade trial: brew link --overwrite ruby & brew unlink ruby && brew link ruby and get
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/ruby
Then second ruby upgrade trial: brew upgrade ruby and see the following error message.
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
This error message means I need to install Xcode which I already install. So, I check my Xcode status with code-select -p and get /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer which means I am fine.
I saw a comment regarding where you install python could be a big issue. Quote from the source:
If you see /usr/local/bin/python3 then you are correctly using the Homebrew version of Python. If the output is instead /usr/bin/python3 then you are incorrectly using the system version of Python.
I check which python3 and get
/Users/******/anaconda3/bin/python3
Could this be the problem? How can I change system version to local?
Let me explain this myself so people won't make the same mistakes.
When I saw the last line of the error message
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
My thought was: I already have Xcode why the system ask me to "reinstall" it. However, thanks for #SamiKuhmonen # Beartech #patrick kuang suggestion, I search a page (in Mandarin). xcode-select --install does not reinstall the whole Xcode. It means install some missing command line tools which is required by installing Ruby.
Trying to install k8s package via brew , I just got the same issue a while ago saying in the terminal :
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command
Line Tools: xcode-select --install
You need to download *.dmg file; named Command Line Tools (macOS x.x.x) for XCode N . Search on it here : https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ . You must have developer account.
Then, congrats! 🎉
update for 2019
macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Use Xcode10.2 for macOS 10.14
I had the same issue in my Macbook Pro on Sierra. Apart from updating Xcode from the App Store, I also installed the command line utilities using the xcode-select --install command.
After the update steps, brew commands started working fine. I also updating my OS during this time.
I got the same message despite having Xcode and the command line tools already being installed a long time ago and updated numerous times.
I think it is the Apple way of telling you that Xcode command line tools need to be updated, as the App Store showed me the below:
After executing the xcode-select --install command, the update disappears from the App Store, which means they are exactly the same thing.
I had the same problem. I installed 'Command Line Tools for XCode' (choose appropriate version) from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and restarted my terminal. Issue resolved :)
I'm trying to install and use Cocoapods with Xcode. I've installed already Brew, so I've used this command:
sudo gem install cocoapods
but it stays there, without response and without asking me for password (that's really strange, because of sudo command).
Maybe I got some problem with Brew Installation or Ruby on my Yosemite iMac?
I met the same error in the past, there is something wrong with my development environment. I re-install the Command Line Tools follow this guide, then everything is ok.
You can get the detail information from here, hope it can help you.
I am trying to install MongoDB on my Mac OSX 10.6.8. I am using the Homebrew method. Homebrew appears to be correctly installed - running brew update generates the message 'Already up-to-date'. But when I run brew install mongodb I get this message:
Error: SHA1 mismatch
Expected: 72152f9bec94aaaacb16d0b17511b0862d38ac21

To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.
If I remove that file, re-update brew, try to re-install mongodb, I get exactly the same result.
other action(s) taken - I ran sudo mv /opt/local ~/macports per instructions I was reading which I am not sure now where that came from, but it was that Homebrew and macports can interfere with each other.
If some understands what this problem is, and how to solve I would be grateful for the help.
When answering it would be wise to assume I am a newbie for this task.
I've searched around a bit and can't seem to find any record of anyone else with this problem.
Whenever I try to run
$ brew update
I am rewarded with
/usr/local/bin/brew:34: uninitialized constant MACOS (NameError)
This isn't my machine and I normally develop on Linux systems so this is all a bit odd to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please tell me if there is any additional info I should provide. Again, I'm not used to homebrew or OSX.
EDIT
at the request of JameA
xiao:~ patrick$ brew doctor
/usr/local/bin/brew:34: uninitialized constant MACOS (NameError)
xiao:~ patrick$ brew --config
/usr/local/bin/brew:34: uninitialized constant MACOS (NameError)
...Not sure I like this whole "here, use this macbook for the project, it works better" thing...
I'm pretty sure the root cause of this is a failed upgrade attempt to Homebrew 0.9.5 from a much earlier version. Basically, if you run brew update as opposed to sudo brew update a portion of files are updated, while others are not. Here's what worked for me:
Edit /usr/local/bin/brew (it's just a Ruby file, not a compiled binary, so any text editor will do). You'll find a block like:
if MACOS and MACOS_VERSION < 10.5
abort <<-EOABORT.undent
Homebrew requires Leopard or higher. For Tiger support, see:
https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew
EOABORT
end
Comment this out. Even if you don't know Ruby, you can probably intuit what this is doing—it's checking to see if you have a current version of OSX. Assuming that you do in fact have this version, this sanity check isn't necessary. Brew is still broken, but at least now it will load far enough to give error messages.
Run sudo brew update, spoiler alert: it fails, but this time with a meaningful error message:
$ brew update
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
[giant list of files here]
Well, today I learned that brew update is just a wrapper for git pull because anyone who has worked with git knows that error message. We can fix this too.
Switch into the homebrew git repository with cd /usr/local and give the command git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD.
This piece found here.
Give the command sudo brew update. Homebrew should now update successfully and work properly!
Once the system is working again, you can actually kind of see why an error like this would have occurred. For one, usr/local/bin/brew has been completely rewriten and isn't even Ruby anymore, and most of its configuration has been moved into /usr/local/Library/brew.rb which no longer uses the constants MACOS or MACOS_VERSION constants, as they have been replaced by the more object oriented OS.mac and MacOS.version.
The MACOS constant is set in globals.rb. It seems like you may have a borked installation of Homebrew.
Check the output of brew doctor for any suggestions.
If that doesn't help please update with the results of brew --config.
If all else fails you may want to try re-installing Homebrew.
UPDATE:
Since this was a previous user's machine make sure your user is the owner of /usr/local and everything within. Fix it with sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local.
I had a similar issue, when I Killed an install mid-way with Ctrl-D.
Post that whenever I tried installing anything it gave the following error
uninitialized constant Homebrew::CLI::Parser::ARGV_WITHOUT_MONKEY_PATCHING
As a fix, I went to the directory I had where homebrew was installed, and reset the HEAD.
cd /usr/local/Homebrew
git status
git checkout .
And then it started working magically.
I had a similar error with a "borked" installation of brew. I removed the small 5 line block of code in the /usr/local/bin/brew script starting with the MACOS line. That did the trick to allow me to uninstall and eventually reinstall it.
In addition to Matt Korostoff's answer.
On point 3 (resetting the repo), for recent version of Homebrew, the repo is no longer /usr/local, do cd "$(brew --repo)" instead.
