Homebrew clean and re-install problem on OSX 10.10 Yosemite #42987

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

I had Homebrew previously installed but broken after checking brew doctor, like below: 

jimmy$ brew doctor
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 21: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0

Then, I tried to cleanup brew but seems didn't work either:

jimmy$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 21: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0

 So, I would like to reinstall. Permission error occurs when 'git reset --hard origin/master' runs.

jimmy$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Try sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local.

kopzinski commented 9 years ago

I have the same problem... Now I want to "uninstall" brew to try again... But I don't know do that...

DomT4 commented 9 years ago

Do the above chown and then use this script.

DomT4 commented 9 years ago

Going to close this one out. The three commands I pointed to in this thread should permit full access to /usr/local again. If your brew is placed somewhere non-standard, replace /usr/local in the command above with that prefix. Let us know if you hit any further issues, Thanks!

@DomT4 Thanks. Changing permissions does the trick!
