I've tried the various forums and teh Google to no avail. I'm trying to install Mac Homebrew on OS X 10.6.8. When I try the install command from the Homebrew Homepage:
ruby <(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
I get the following errors:
host-197-7-0-10:~ rzazueta$ ruby <(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/Library/...
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
Press enter to continue
==> Downloading and Installing Homebrew...
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew /info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n
That 403 is rather odd. Any idea what could be happening here? I was able to successfully install using this method on another Mac, so I feel confident the issue is on my machine, but I don't even know where to begin to figure out what's causing this.
Thanks!
Check their installation page (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation) and look under alternate installs.
The pertinent line being:
cd /usr/local/bin
mkdir homebrew && curl -L https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
then just
ln -s path/to/homebrew/bin/brew /usr/local/bin/brew
I think the path listed on http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ is dated.
I had the same problem on OS X 10.8.2. It turned out that I had an old version of git (1.6.5.2) installed in /usr/local. When I removed that and used the version provided with Mountain Lion (1.7.10.2), the normal install worked fine.
Just installed using:
ruby <(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
and it work without problems.
Maybe it was a temporary problem...
This was a temporary Github problem. It happens occasionally. Try again later.
Carefull, the install script has moved from raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go to raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install !
Change your script to
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
instead of ruby <(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
I have tried all the above answers but they din't work.Then I found maybe the link was broken. I use the following command and succeed:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
