A few days ago, homebrew started to stuck when I try to run brew doctor or brew --config. The output is:
$ brew --config

$ brew update
Updated Homebrew from cd9895d9 to 391ed374.

$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
I tried reinstalling homebrew, but it does not seem to work:
$ 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:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
$ rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
/Users/<username>/.rbenv/shims/ruby: line 21: /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/0.4.0/libexec/rbenv: No such file or directory
Surprisingly, the brew command itself does work even after the rm command above. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help!
I got a solution now: xcode-select was pointing to the wrong directory. sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app solved the problem.

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 use the latest Apple M1 chip processor. And I keep getting errors while application installation.
say.,
brew install openjdk#11
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
"Alternative Installs" from:
https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
You can migrate your previously installed formula list with:
brew bundle dump
Need help with exact steps to follow.
For what it's worth, before installing Homebrew you will need to install Rosetta2 emulator for the new ARM silicon (M1 chip). I just installed Rosetta2 via terminal using:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
This will install rosetta2 with no extra button clicks.
After installing Rosetta2 above you can then use the Homebrew cmd and install Homebrew for ARM M1 chip: arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew for M1 ARM is installed use this Homebrew command to install packages: arch -x86_64 brew install <package>
Homebrew needs to be installed in two places on Apple silicon: in /usr/local for rosetta-emulated (Intel) code, and /opt/homebrew for ARM64. These are somewhat hard-coded and the /opt/homebrew one MUST be used for ARM code, as it stands today, and is non-negotiable. However, it's easy enough to install and you can follow the general instructions on the official docs. You open a Rosetta shell first.
% arch -x86_64 zsh
% cd /usr/local && mkdir homebrew
% curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
Later, to install tools under intel you can use the arch command per-command or open a zsh terminal as above.
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool
For the ARM architecture, you don't need to use arch but you do need to use the full path of the homebrew command.
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool
You could rename the brew commands to something like brew86 and brewARM to help keep them separate.
Run this in the terminal it fixes the issue
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
Just use:
arch -arm64 brew install package-name
replace 'package-name' with the package you want to install.
Did a temporary fix by enabling Open using Rosetta option in the terminal app from Utilities folder.
However, it would be great to know the actual solution for this question to use the native way.
There is a lot of helpful info in the replies here, but there doesn't seem to be a direct answer to the original request, "Need help with exact steps to follow."
In case it may help people facing this issue in the future, I'll share the exact steps that I followed to resolve the issue.
The following CLI commands are intended to be run on an Apple silicon-equipped Mac in the built-in Terminal application running the macOS-default shell, Zsh:
Run a Homebrew command to confirm that an error like the following appears:
$ brew install <formula>
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
"Alternative Installs" from:
https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
Or:
$ brew doctor
Warning: Your Homebrew's prefix is not /opt/homebrew.
Some of Homebrew's bottles (binary packages) can only be used with the default
prefix (/opt/homebrew).
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.
If either of these errors appears, it is likely that the steps below are applicable to your case.
Navigate to the /opt folder:
$ cd /opt
Create a folder named homebrew. By default superuser privileges are required to write inside of the /opt folder, which means that it is necessary to use sudo:
$ sudo mkdir homebrew
Grant write access to the homebrew folder so that your user can perform the Homebrew installation:
$ sudo chmod go+w homebrew
Perform the four steps listed on the "Alternative Installs" page (the page mentioned in the first error message in step 1):
Install Homebrew:
$ curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
Set Homebrew's prefix in your current Terminal session:
$ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
Update Homebrew:
$ brew update --force --quiet
Revoke write access to specific folders and files:
$ chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh"
Set Homebrew's prefix in future Terminal sessions by adding the necessary command to one of Zsh's startup files. As far as I can tell, .zshrc is the preferred startup file for this type of command:
$ echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
Note that if there are any other existing Terminal sessions on your machine that have been open since before running the above command, the correct Homebrew prefix will still be unset in those sessions.
Confirm that Homebrew's prefix is now properly set:
$ type -a brew
brew is /opt/homebrew/bin/brew
brew is /usr/local/bin/brew
Or:
$ brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
It should now be possible to continue using Homebrew normally.
This issue with new macbook pro M1 chip
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
For Resolve follow below steps
Step1
$ brew bundle dump
Step2
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step3
Edit file below
$ vi ~/.bashrc or vi ~/.zshrc
Edit below line in above file
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
Homebrew is now available for the new apple M1 chip at https://docs.brew.sh/Installation. The script installs in a new location, ‘/opt/homebrew’ instead of ‘/usr/local’ which requires that you implement a couple lines of script after the install, substituting your username. You can copy/paste from the comments in your install. Just don’t skip these steps.
==> Next steps:
- Add Homebrew to your PATH in /Users/[username]/.zprofile:
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"' >> /Users/[username]/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"
Note: This works for a clean install of Homebrew on a new machine. If you have already installed an old version of Homebrew and got it working, I believe you need to uninstall that first -or- you may find this a quicker work-around http://blog.wafrat.com/homebrew-on-mac-with-m1/. Not tested.
See: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
1. Clone homebrew
$ cd /opt
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew homebrew
2. Chown dir
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff /opt/homebrew
3. Update new brew shellenv temporarily, more shellenv meaning see man brew
$ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
4. New brew update
$ brew update --force --quiet

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
This also may occur if you are trying to run your command in IntelliJ Terminal. Just try to run in (Regular) Terminal.
First run this command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
then it will ask you a question, hit return, then wait for the installation to be completed. After than run this command:
brew bundle dump
Go over to https://brew.sh and use the command. It will download and install brew again correctly.
Run this command as this will resolve the issue
arch -arm64 brew install kotlin
I had installed Homebrew using iTerm enabled for the Apple ARM chip (M1), but when using a different terminal program that was Intel-based (and thus opening in Rosetta) I got this error. The latter app is seen as Intel, and thus wants to use the older Homebrew path.
Probably this error is related running brew on M1/M2 Mac instead instead of Intel based Mac, atleast that was in my case. I had previously restored a Time Machine backup from Intel to M2.
According to the Homebrew documentation, the default installation script installs Homebrew to its preferred /usr/localfor macOS Intel and /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon.
You can well use this, as it worked well for me-
re-install brew by running this in your terminal /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
run brew bundle dump
You should be good on using brew
So I bought a new M1 and migrated to it. I took it back and migrated back. I was receiving this error. Found that I needed to run sudo rm -Rf /opt/homebrew after re-installing brew to get things flowing again. 16G Ram on the M1 didn't replace my workflow with Intel using 64G.
I received the following message when I try to use wget command after installation on Homebrew (running Mac High Sierra 10.13).
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/wget
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
I tried to reinstall wget. Issue still persists.
wget gave me that error after migrating to a new macbook. What worked for me was
brew uninstall --force gettext
brew install gettext
brew uninstall wget
brew install wget
solved me both gettext and git clone issues.
You can fix it by reinstall gettext
brew reinstall gettext
A simple reinstall of "wget" fixed this issue in my case.
brew reinstall wget
uninstall and reinstalling the brew will fix the issue
Uninstall
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
install
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Actually, I have tried a lot of methods, but the command brew reinstall wget solved my problems at last.
I had similar issue with git , fixed it with brew reinstall gettext
Likely problem with libintl.8.dylib as in many other similar issues:
brew link --overwrite ruby
brew uninstall --force gettext
brew install gettext
locate libintl.8.dylib
if /gettext//libintl.*.dylib exists
brew link -f gettext
go to (depending on version)
cd /usr/local/Homebrew
cd /usr/local/Library/Homebrew
and execute (make sure you're in .../Homebrew directory)
git pull origin master
rm -fr ".git/rebase-apply"
brew update && brew upgrade
this last will took some time, but afterwards everything should work fine.
I tried to install Homebrew like this:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
It didn’t install correctly so I closed Terminal and tried again. Now it displays me the following message:
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
I tried to do that but without success. The following message is displayed:
brew: command not found
So, the problem is that Homebrew is installed but actually it is not installed. Any suggestions how to solve this problem? Thank you!
This seems to have resolved the issue for me
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Afterward, I can now
brew doctor
You may also find the gist linked to at the following page of use:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/FAQ.md
The URL contained in the command you are using is not correct. Ruby will dump out lines of HTML and then fail. Use this command instead:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
this is work for me!
This worked for me:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
I removed the folder /usr/local/.git and homebrew installed just fine afterwards.
What was the message given when it didn't install correctly the first time? Is the brew binary present in /usr/local/bin ? If so, you probably just need to add it to your path, see: Error Installing Homebrew - Brew Command Not Found
Attempting to resolve the same issue, I found out that I had mistyped while making changes to my PATH. I did not have /usr/local/bin. I would then recommend running
$ echo $PATH
in terminal to see if you have the correct directories.You can also run
$ vi ~/.bash_profile
to see it and make changes if neccessary
If you cannot install by using curl try to open the install script from your browser, save it in a file called i.e brew_install.rb somewhere on your disk and run the script locally
ruby brew_install.rb
This worked for me.
Follow these steps
1 ==> ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
2 ==> sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/Homebrew/
3 ==> install brew
1 -- /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
2 -- sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/var/homebrew
If get these error try below command
Error: Failed to link all completions, docs and manpages:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/*
then follow these commands
/usr/local/bin/brew update --force
This is the most recent one that works for me.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
I found it here in case it is updated later. https://brew.sh/
I am getting issues with permissions in Homebrew: After I installed Node and tried to install npm using the curl command Homebrew tells you to use, it would fail due to EACCESS errors. I checked the node folder and the permissions were a) unowned by a user (I had to chown it) and b) Had no write permissions (I had to chmod 755 it).
I've fixed the issue with NPM, but I had to run its install script as sudo (which is bad!).
I assume I must have installed Homebrew as root or something similar. I am hoping that reinstallation will fix it, but I can't find a source on how to reinstall Homebrew.
When I rerun the installer in Terminal I get:
/usr/local/.git already exists!
Update 10/11/2020 to reflect the latest brew changes.
Brew already provide a command to uninstall itself (this will remove everything you installed with Homebrew):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
If you failed to run this command due to permission (like run as second user), run again with sudo
Then you can install again:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Process is to clean up and then reinstall with the following commands:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install )"
Notes:
Always check curl | bash (or ruby) commands before running them
http://brew.sh/ (for installation notes)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install (for clean up notes, see "Homebrew is already installed")
Try running the command
brew doctor
and let us know what sort of output you get
edit: And to answer the title question, this is from their FAQ :
Homebrew doesn’t write files outside its prefix. So generally you can
just rm -rf the folder you installed it in.
So following that up with a clean re-install (following their latest recommended steps) should be your best bet.
For Mac OS X Mojave and above
To Uninstall Homebrew, run following command:
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
To Install Homebrew, run following command:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
And if you run into Permission denied issue, try running this command followed by install command again:
sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/*
The way to reinstall Homebrew is completely remove it and start over. The Homebrew FAQ has a link to a shell script to uninstall homebrew.
If the only thing you've installed in /usr/local is homebrew itself, you can just rm -rf /usr/local/* /usr/local/.git to clear it out. But /usr/local/ is the standard Unix directory for all extra binaries, not just Homebrew, so you may have other things installed there. In that case uninstall_homebrew.sh is a better bet. It is careful to only remove homebrew's files and leave the rest alone.
For me, I need to do the below steps to re-install the brew from scratch.
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/
brew cleanup
sudo rm -rf $(brew --repo)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
You can try this method for M1 macbook
After you
1.Uninstall brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
2.Install brew again
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
3.You brew install something in image I "brew install sonar-scanner"
then error log show same this
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
4.You should try follow run this.
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
5.When no.4 is done run this
brew tap homebrew/core
try brew install again.
For me, this one worked without the sudo access.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
