I ran the following command on terminal (Mac El Capitan)
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
and got the following error message:
Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1
Additionally tried:
sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local && sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
then the two commands above.
Any idea how to install Homebrew?
brew is not recognized
and ruby version 2.0.0
, git version 2.7.4
After a few hours of research and brute force I learned the issue was due to git not being configured properly. Some articles suggested downgrading your git or reinstalling all together. However, I resolved the issue just by adding the following
git config --global user.email yourgitemail@example.com
Then remove the cellar
and homebrew
directories from /usr/local
and re-try the installation.
