I'm trying to install homebrew on a macOS and I'm failing with the following message:
h
==> Installation successful!
==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate formulae and cask analytics.
Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:

Any ideas of what it could be and how to fix it? Many thanks (:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew
to remove everything before you landed here ;) and then run
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
I hope it helps.
Can you run the following commands to see if it helps?
$ cd `brew --prefix`
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew.git
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard origin/master
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
Also it would be helpful if you can attach brew doctor and brew config in the original post. Thanks!
I had a similar problem, running this command; "/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
I got this log;

Had a similar issue on Mac, I uninstalled it first by typing the command below and I installed Xcode, it worked for me after running the install command again.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
I first installed it onto my Linux system using the command recommended on the homebrew install page:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
but it seem to take a long time, and "hung" showing the output:
Resolving deltas: 100% (793706/793706), done.
for quite a while. I was impatient and killed the process then, and tried the install again. That is when I got the error reported by the OP. The fix was to uninstall the partially installed homebrew, and install again:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Please help me find a solution to this error. I am installing brew with this command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
The result:

It seems you are trying to overwrite an existing install that has a broken core tap. Try deleting the homebrew core folder like this:
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
Then reinstall homebrew using:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Hope this works for you.
This generally happens when something with homebrew/core is corrupt.
% find /opt/homebrew /usr/local/ -type d -name homebrew-core -print
% rm -rf the-directories-found-in-the-above-find
% brew tap homebrew/core
First find your homebrew-core, then remove (rm -rf), then reinstall. If this fails because it didn't install enough to get a working brew, then remove the directory and retry the initial install.
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.
When I tried to install homebrew I got this error. It started simple but then I was perplexed.

No problem, github was down for a little while. So I tried again later.
cjbrigna$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Which makes me think I have homebrew.
cjbrigna$ brew help
-sh: brew: command not found
Well clearly I didn't have homebrew.
cjbrigna$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Failed to locate Homebrew!
Well now I can't install or uninstall homebrew. This makes no sense. What did I do wrong? I appreciate any help.
You can finish the install process manually:
cd /usr/local
git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1
git reset --hard origin/master
Then ensure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH. If it is you should then be able to run e.g. brew help to check that Homebrew is installed.
Hi I just tried installing git via homebrew on my mac - something is wrong. I had the github for mac app installed, but I tried removing that. The current git version in my system is:
Nielsk#~: $ git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)
This is what happens if I try to install git via homebrew:
Nielsk#~: $ brew install git

How can I solve this?
I also met the same issue. I think we should change the readable permission to make sure any of the directories is readable by "all". So I tried the command: sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local
and then: brew link --overwrite git It works for me, hope it will also work for you.
From High Sierra, chown of /usr/local is not allowed. However you can still change permission the sub directories in /usr/local.
In my case, I had to create Frameworks in /usr/local and sudo chown -R $(whom) Frameworks. After that follow what brew doctor says.
The better way is to create subdirectory whatever you need and run
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
For those with the new El Capitan OS, you'll need to update your permissions:
Open Terminal and type the following commands:
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
$ brew doctor
$ brew update
$ brew link --overwrite git
The above solution will work for other brew installs like node, etc. Just replace the last line if you started the installation but encountered errors during the brew installation.
I had a similar permission denied error on install of git until I cleaned things up:
$brew doctor
..... << long output of issues, so you run:
$brew prune
$brew doctor
..... << less issues now, so manually clean up
$brew update
$brew install git
Does that address your error as well?
I did what brew doctor recommended and it helped:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/sbin
