Installing Homebrew on Macbook running El Capitan - ruby
When I run this command:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
I get the following error:
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
The current contents of /usr/local are bin CODEOFCONDUCT.md git include lib libexec Library LICENSE.txt n share var .git .github .gitignore
However, when I run brew doctor, this error is thrown:
bash: brew: command not found
And when I try to un-install Homebrew using this script:
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
my command prompt responds with:
Failed to locate Homebrew!
Please help.
First delete all homebrew files manually. Then reinstall Homebrew from scratch. Prefix sudo at your own discretion:
# packages
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar
# executable
rm /usr/local/bin/brew
# meta
rm -rf /usr/local/.git
rm /usr/local/.github
rm /usr/local/.gitignore
rm /usr/local/.travis.yml
rm /usr/local/.yardopts
rm /usr/local/CODEOFCONDUCT.md
rm /usr/local/LICENSE.txt
rm /usr/local/README.md
# home
rm ~/.rvm/bin/brew
rm ~/.homebrew
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew
# other
rm -rf /Library/Caches/Homebrew
# find more files to delete; delete Homebrew files only!
find / -name "*brew*"
IMPORTANT: because of permission errors upon reinstall, you may have to do one of the following steps before reinstallation; see: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/15138
# via: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/15138#issuecomment-19258042
cd /usr/local
sudo mv -v Library Library.old
# --OR--
# via: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/15138#issuecomment-33338868
# see: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/chmod1.html
cd /usr/local
chmod -R 775 Library
Reinstall Homebrew; see: http://brew.sh
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
There is a problem related to the latest version of XCode and Homebrew. Open a terminal and run:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
If you get permission denied error use sudo. Directory /usr/local/Cellar/ is completely removed when uninstalling Homebrew, so it is safe to remove it.

Brew stops working after terminal session is closed
I have installed Brew in MACOS Monterey with the following commands. mkdir homebrew && curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" brew update --force --quiet chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh" I have tested it after the install, and it works, however closing the terminal session and opening it again causes terminal to say that the command brew is not found after running it. I can still see the homebrew directory, so Im guessing its in the wrong place for terminal to run it.
The only supported method to install brew is found on brew.sh: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Ok I was able to fix the issue by adding the PATH to the .bash_profile file.
macOS - Permission denied # apply2files - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/extglob/lib/.DS_Store?
I was installing the starship via homebrew, but I am getting this error: Permission denied # apply2files - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/extglob/lib/.DS_Store Any solution for fixing this error? Thanks.
This issue appeared after upgrading macOS to Mojave 10.14.X onwards. Therefore, you need to reset the permissions in /usr/local: sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* \ && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/* Source: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/45009#issuecomment-543795948
You can change owner by :
sudo chown -R ${LOGNAME}:staff /usr/local/lib/node_modules
If you are getting the above error during brew cleanup “Permission denied # apply2files”, one of the solutions which worked in my case was to reset permissions to /usr/local. You will have to rewrite permission to the current user. In your terminal copy and paste: sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* \ && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/* Then rerun the command. The permission error should go. Hope it may help someone in the future. Good luck
Change permission of the node_modules directory by running
sudo chown -R ${LOGNAME}:staff /usr/local/lib/node_modules
You can run the command: sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/extglob/lib/.DS_Store
first sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* \ && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/* the reinstall all the packages with brew list --formula | xargs brew reinstall this part may take few minutes but worked great for me
This work for me. Remove and reinstall brew. ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)" ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
In my case, It works with sudo chown -R douglas.mesquita:admin /usr/local/lib/node_modules
what worked for me, simply delete the directory with sudo rm -rf %error file path%
Installing brew with OS X issue
When I try to install brew with the command ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" I get the following error /Users/nouveau/.rbenv/shims/ruby: ligne21: /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/0.4.0/libexec/rbenv: No such file or directory How can I solve this?
Your rbenv installation seems to be broken. Just remove it: cd rm -rf rbenv rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar exit # close terminal Then repeat homebrew installation (with your system Ruby): ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Script to install Flash Player through postinst
I have created a debian package. I need to check for the Adobe Flash Player while installing this .deb. If flash player is not installed then i need to install it also. On browsing i got to know that postinst file can be used for this purpose. The postinst file is #!/bin/bash echo “Stopping any Firefox that might be running” sudo killall -9 firefox echo “Removing any other flash plugin previously installed:” sudo apt-get remove -y –purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper echo “Installing Flash Player 10″ #cd ~ sudo cp /home/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ echo “Linking the libraries so Firefox and apps depending on XULRunner.” sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/ # now doing some cleaning up: sudo rm -rf libflashplayer.so sudo rm -rf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz But nothing is happening. Can anyone help me to write the script to install flash player through script?
Looks like you got your $HOME path wrong: sudo cp /home/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ did you mean: sudo cp $HOME/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
