Administrator Password #863

Closed Moonlight1220 closed 2 months ago

Hello Homeberew Community,

When Installing Homebrew With The Command: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" I was prompted to input my password, from there on it would not let me input my password and after 3 more attempts it resulted in the output of: Need sudo access on macOS (e.g. the user alexanderdorman needs to be an Administrator)!

Please advise on how to move foward!

Make sure you're an administrator on the computer

Hello Again,

This bug comes from a linux and macOS security feature, the password does not display in the terminal however if you just type in your password it should work perfectly fine.
