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)"

MacBook-Pro:~ me$
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.

fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/remotes/origin/master': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:

Removing the directory and trying to reinstall worked for me.
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
Please run the following commands in your terminal:
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core) # because you can't `brew untap homebrew/core`
brew tap homebrew/core

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)"
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

I've tried installing using superuser mode and the system does not allow to use the superuser mode to install files from internet source.

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:
https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics
No analytics data has been sent yet (or will be during this `install` run).
==> Homebrew is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Please consider donating:

Failed during: git config --replace-all homebrew.analyticsmessage true
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)"

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.
