I've encountered a problem while installing brew on my machine. The installation is a success till it creates a Homebrew directory in ~/local.
I've executed the following:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Result
==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/share/doc/homebrew
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/brew
/usr/local/Homebrew
==> The following new directories will be created:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/Homebrew
==> The Xcode Command Line Tools will be installed.
Press RETURN to continue or any other key to abort
==> /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/Homebrew
mkdir: /usr/local/bin: Not a directory
Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/Homebrew
I've tried installing using superuser mode and the system does not allow to use the superuser mode to install files from internet source.
TIA

I need to install homebrew to install different software packages in my computer.
However, I first tried using homebrew and got
zsh: command not found: brew
I then tried fixing this issue following different methods such as adding opt/homebrew/bin/ to the PATH, adding export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin/"
to my ~/.zshrc file but nothing worked. One of the methods required me to errase the folder /opt/homebrew and then install homebrew via /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" (specified in brew.sh website). This hangs during the installation. This is the output shown in my command line
~ % /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

We can see the installation hangs when trying to install XCode Command Line Tools. So, I then tried to install XCode different ways but got no luck either. Please help me figure out how to install homebrew so I can start developing in my computer! Thanks!

Edit:
After a while of waiting, the Xcode installation timed out (not surprised) and showed me this:
Timed out while loading data from the Apple Software Update server.

I was finally able to solve it by following this post https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/131
I basically downloaded the version of Command Line Tools that was compatible with my macOS version and then proceed as normal with my brew install command provided in brew.sh
The only caveat is that when I ran the brew install command, I was prompted with a message saying I had not agreed with the Terms and Conditions of the Command Line Tools, which was fairly easy to do any ways. After agreeing, I tried running the brew install command again and was able to install it.
I install brew following
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
but not working
==> /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
mkdir: /usr/local/bin: Not a directory
Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
Plzz help me. thanks
On installation of homebrew I am presented with this error, could someone please explain what is happening and the solution?

You have to give Homebrew the right to write inside /usr/local. To do this the official command to run is:
cd /usr/local && sudo chown -R $(whoami) bin etc include lib sbin share var opt Cellar Caskroom Frameworks
Read the official troubleshooting page of Homebrew for details.
If you have not installed applications in /usr/local that rely on specific permissions, you can also run:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/*
I am trying to install Homebrew on my Mac, for use with Java development. I have followed the instructions at: https://brew.sh, and pasted the command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(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:

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.
I was trying to install homebrew on my mac but failed with the error message saying that xcode-select command not found. I did some searchings online and realized that there is one duplication online. However, it doens't provide me a solution. Below is the information about my environment and settings.
I have xcode5.1.1 and xcode6beta6 both installed on the osx mavericks.
I checked the PATH variable by "echo $PATH" and the result is "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin".
I downloaded the command line tool from the apple download page and installed it.
Last, I run the command "ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" to install the homebrew.
Results I got:
"==> This script will install:

I have spent a whole day trying to solve the problem. Anyone please help. A lot of thanks.
