Based on a hint here that old symlinks can confuse brew link, please try brew prune; brew link postgresql and see if that resolves your issue.
9.3.3 is an old version of postgresql and I don't see the Homebrew revision you're using in the Homebrew git history? If you have brew updated recently, there is some discussion of this issue here. It's not obvious what's causing the issue (unless it's dead symlinks, discussed above) but it looks like cd /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql; cp -r 9.3.5 9.3.3 will allow brew link postgresql to work, though that's kludgey.
If you haven't updated recently, please brew rm postgresql; brew update and try again. You should be installing 9.3.5.
(I don't suppose it's causing trouble here but, incidentally, running Homebrew with an active Python virtualenv is not supported.)

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

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

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.
Just wondering if anyone can help fix homebrew for me. It was working a minute ago...
I am trying to install new packages using Homebrew on my 2 Macbooks. Both are running High Sierra, which I suspect might be the problem due to Apple borking root permissions...
Anyway, my issue goes a little something like this:
❯❯❯ brew install git
Error: git 2.14.2 is already installed
To upgrade to 2.15.1, run `brew upgrade git`
Okay. Lets upgrade Git.
❯❯❯ brew upgrade git

==> Upgrading git
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/git-2.15.1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz

❯❯❯ curl

/usr/bin/curl
❯❯❯ ls -al /usr/bin/curl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 185104 Dec 1 15:45 /usr/bin/curl
So it exists and looks executable. Maybe the homebrew links got messed up? I will re-install curl using brew
❯❯❯ brew install curl

So basically homebrew is not working for me. On TWO different machines running the same Mac OS version 10.13.2
NOTE: This is not limited in any way to installing git. The problem started trying to install minikube.
UPDATE
I checked my setup via brew config and noticed that although I DO have curl installed, homebrew does not see it: Curl: N/A

The OS already has curl installed, but homebrew does not see it.
I cannot install curl using homebrew (see above).
So now the problem becomes "How do I fix homebrew so it sees curl"?
I was running into the same issue yesterday. For me it was caused by a file called curl left over from a botched command in the same directory where I was running brew. Deleting that file resolved the issue.
I had same problem and I have no idea how but I fixed it. First I uninstalled any brew-version of curl that was installed. Then, when that didn't work, I navigated to \bin\usr\curl to make sure it was still there. I then ran curl in terminal (just literally `curl' and then which curl to make sure it was using right one), and then reran brew and it seemed to work. I think what happens is that for some reason in new Mac files sometimes don't appear locally until you open them for the first time when using iCloud. Its happened before with other dependencies, where I had to navigate to file and physically open it before it would be locally downloaded and be recognized as a dependency. Not sure if Mac does same thing with curl. If so, quite dumb.
I had this same issue, also on Mac OS High Sierra. I ended up running brew uninstall curl. This gave me an error, but then when I installed Homebrew curl again, it worked and I could install git and others.
if you have tried everything and nothing helps, if you're facing permissions issues - try to re-install the Homebrew:
uninstall:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
and then install it again:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
helped in my case
I have installed xcode
xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
After this I did brew update

Already up-to-date.
Then brew doctor gave the following error

I have added --disable-openmp option, it also doesn't go well.
$ brew install imagemagick --disable-openmp
brew doctor command result has no problem.
$ brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
Have you tried a
$ brew update
$ brew install imagemagick --disable-openmp --build-from-source
Apparently that seemed to fix it for me on Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Previously I checked out the latest imagemagick brew recipe with "brew versions imagemagick" and "git checkout e68e443", see here and here
I'm not certain whether the source of my problem was the same as the OP's, however (though this has an accepted answer already) I'll post this in case this solution works for others.
Using brew install imagemagick, I would encounter the following error:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server Error: Failed to download resource
"libpng" Download failed:
https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1.6.16.tar.xz
Which is similar, if less specific than the OP's message.
As it turned out, I already had a previous version of libpng installed (version 1.5.7). I then ran:
brew upgrade libpng
Followed by another brew install libpng, and this time it succeeded, as it now had the correct version needed.
This problem also occurs because https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1.6.16.tar.xz has a badly configured SSL certificate. Open the link in your browser and see if your browser complains.
If that's the case, you can manually download the file to /Library/Caches/Homebrew and run again.
Source: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/36703
For me it was upgrading to El Capitan. I found the simplest solution was to force remove homebrew:
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
then to re-install it:
sudo /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then install imageMajick:
brew install ImageMagick
Depending on your setup you may not want to sudo. For me, its fine. Enjoy a snack while you manipulate images.
In my case the url was simply not correct, with which homebrew wanted to download the required file. I looked it up here http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng16/older-releases/1.6.16/ by myself and copied it to /Library/Caches/Homebrew like #Dan suggested.
I then run brew install libpng again and it worked.
Follow this:
brew install imagemagick#6
Add below lines in to ~/.bash_profile file
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/lib" export
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/include" export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/lib/pkgconfig"
Install Rmagick
source ~/.bash_profile
gem install rmagick
If you are an Anaconda/Miniconda user on Mac OSX or Linux, you can install packages like imagemagick using conda.
conda install -c conda-forge imagemagick
https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/imagemagick
First, I tried the common rvm install.
rvm install 1.9.2
However, the following error was shown:
The provided compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.
Then I run
rvm requirements
and find these following part of output useful
Right now Ruby requires gcc to compile, but Xcode 4.2 and later no longer ship with gcc. Instead they ship with llvm-gcc (to which gcc is a symlink) and clang, neither of which are supported for building Ruby. Xcode 4.1 was the last version to ship gcc, which was /usr/bin/gcc-4.2.
Xcode 4.1 and earlier:
- Ruby will build fine.
Xcode 4.2 and later (including Command Line Tools for Xcode):
- If you have gcc-4.2 (and friends) from an earlier Xcode version, Ruby will build fine.
- If you don't have gcc-4.2, you have two options to get it:
* Install apple-gcc42 from Homebrew
* Install osx-gcc-installer
Homebrew:
If you are using Homebrew, you can install the apple-gcc42 and required libraries from homebrew/dupes:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
rvm pkg install openssl
This can live side by side with an existing Xcode 4.2+ install or Command Line Tools for Xcode.
so I tried:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
However, I got the following error
Warning: Could not link apple-gcc42. Unlinking...

/usr/local/include is not writable. You should change its permissions.
What would be my best solution? I kinda remember from somewhere that I should not use sudo with brew since I will mess up the whole installation.
You can change /usr/local directory owner
sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local
But, if you have mysql installed, you mast fix its owner
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql
You should run brew doctor and then change the permissions accordingly. There might be other issues.
Change the permissions of your /usr/local directory and try again.
