Permission denied # rb_sysopen when installing Homebrew on MacOS High Sierra - ruby

I've started getting weird errors on MacOS 10.13.3 (17D102).
I've just tried to install Homebrew using the instructions on the GitHub page and received this error:

I have tried:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
As per this guide and still receive the error.
Running Brew Doctor returns Your system is ready to brew. and my Ruby Version is ruby 2.0.0p648 (2015-12-16 revision 53162) [x86_64-darwin16.6.0]
The error can be more easily repeatable using brew install zsh.

This happened to me when i had sudo'd to the postgres user.
Exiting back to my normal user allowed me to proceed without obstacle.

Error installing Homebrew "unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet"

I tried installing Homebrew on the M1 Mac Mini using the command
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
as it is on the docs.
Then mid-way got this error

This is more of github checkout issue rather than Homebrew issue, checkout this suggestion:
It might be your network issue. If the network is too slow, then it might disconnect connection unexpectedly.
If you are having a good internet and still getting this message then it might be an issue with post buffer. You can resolve it by executing the following command in your cmd.
git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400

In macOS, installing Homebrew from clean install returns an error

I'm trying to install brew on my mac (intel), I'm using this command (from the homepage of Brew https://brew.sh/):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
And it returns the following error:

It doesn't give me any hint of possible follow-up actions. What should I do?
Let me know if I should post any additional information.
After hours of wandering around forums and GitHub issues, and StackOverflow answers long gone forgotten, I finally made it!
I solved it by removing my /usr/local/Homebrew folder and then reinstalling homebrew from scratch with the command from their website (https://brew.sh/).
Now, I would love to give credit to whom I got this solution from, but I can't find the link among all the tabs and docs I had open. Maybe one day...

Installing Heroku with brew

So I am trying to learn how to deploy React apps on Heroku. I already have one ready, but I want to take steps carefully and slowly. So first I am trying to install Heroku in my OS machine. Currently, I am using OS Catalina Version 10.15.1.
I type this in my terminal brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
and get back this.

Objective Sharpie Error: Failed to run pod list

Does anyone know why, and who to work this around?
I'm just trying to add a Pod.
Note: I have no issues when trying to use CocoaPods on an Native iOS Project
This works fine for me using a fresh install of CocoaPods and Objective Sharpie.
Install CocoaPods from Homebrew:
brew install cocoapods
Find latest Objective Sharpie release on the Xamarin Forums and install it by double clicking the pkg file.
Now just run the same command you already tried:
sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

Homebrew error occurred when I command "brew cask install virtualbox" or "brew cask search google-chrome"

I'm trying to install virtual box with brew-cask, but That returns this kind of error and I cannot install virtualbox. I use MacOSX Lion 10.7.5 and homebrew 0.9.5, ruby 2.1.0-p0
I've described the process in Terminal below.
First of all, brew tap command is succeeded.
$ brew tap phinze/cask

Tapped 1 formula
It looks like you tapped a private repository. To avoid entering your
credentials each time you update, you can use git HTTP credential caching
or issue the following command:
cd /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze/homebrew-cask
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:phinze/homebrew-cask.git
Second, I've already installed brew-cask as below
$ brew install brew-cask
Warning: brew-cask-0.35.0 already installed
Third, when I tried to install virtualbox, but it returns this kind of error, and I cannot get install the Virtualbox.
$ brew cask install virtualbox
==> Removing legacy Tap
Error: No available cask for virtualbox
The homebrew-cask repository has moved. Did you try:
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
instead of phinz?
Update:
As Jon Nalley points out, brew install brew-cask is now deprecated:
Important December 2015 update: Homebrew-Cask will now be kept up to date together with Homebrew (see #15381 for details). If you haven’t yet, run brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update to switch to the new system.
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
Worked for me.
At first, I got the "multiple taps" error:
~ $ brew install brew-cask
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps:
* caskroom/cask/brew-cask
* phinze/cask/brew-cask
Then, I included the full (caskroom) path to brew-cask and it worked:
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew install homebrew/completions/brew-cask-completion
That worked for me
As of March 2021, the answer to this question is to use the cask command as below:
brew install --cask <anypackage>
For example:
brew install --cask virtualbox
