I was trying to install homebrew on my mac but failed with the error message saying that xcode-select command not found. I did some searchings online and realized that there is one duplication online. However, it doens't provide me a solution. Below is the information about my environment and settings.
I have xcode5.1.1 and xcode6beta6 both installed on the osx mavericks.
I checked the PATH variable by "echo $PATH" and the result is "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin".
I downloaded the command line tool from the apple download page and installed it.
Last, I run the command "ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" to install the homebrew.
Results I got:
"==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/Library/...
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1

I have spent a whole day trying to solve the problem. Anyone please help. A lot of thanks.

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 try to install Homebrew on macOS Mojave, I ran this command

and one more thing I downloaded Xcode Command Line Tools file and I tend to install on my macOS but I got failed messages from package installer.

Your error is caused by the firewall of macOS interfereing in Mojave with the updates process, it is not as other stated due to

I had a similar problem, so I am posting this here to help anyone in pain !
The command brew doctor tells me that some installed formulae are missing dependencies.
After doing the command brew upgrade, I get the error for some dependencies (below is the example for openjdk) :
configure: error: No xcodebuild tool and no system framework headers found, use --with-sysroot or --with-sdk-name to provide a path to a valid SDK
/private/tmp/openjdk-20200219-89506-1wim844/jdk13u-jdk-13.0.2+8/build/.configure-support/generated-configure.sh: line 82: 5: Bad file descriptor
configure exiting with result code 1
These open issues may also help:
Migrate formulae to depend on `openjdk`.
Here is how I solved this :
sudo xcode-select -r
Edit and set the date of your Mac as October 1st, 2019
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
brew upgrade
And it worked ! (i am using a iMac mid2011 with MacOS Sierra)
I managed to solve it with help from a senior programmer.
The error was due to absence of Xcode Command Line Interface even though it was showing present in Xcode>>preference>>Location>>Command Line Tools.
So, I had to manually download the Command Line Interface dmg file from my Apple Accounts download section and install it.
so i was trying to install ruby and i heard homebrew was the easiest way to do so. However when i tried to install nothing seemed to happen, heres what i put in the terminal.

I didnt understand the problem with the xcode

before hand every try its appricieted
Open Xcode. It might be that u need to accept terms and conditions.
Did you install Xcode command line tools?
$ xcode-select --install
An important dependency before Homebrew can work is the Command Line Tools for Xcode.
