If your users have admin rights then the easiest thing is to use the official Homebrew install process. My script is only designed for use when users don't have rights.

I must also admit I haven't done any testing on Big Sur yet.

[tina-junold]

A next step is to degrade the user to a normal user during the enrollment, but for testing purposes i disabled this.

I'm getting the same using a standard user, on 10.15.7 and running the script from a jamf policy. also had exactly the same on 11.2

I've never had to install homebrew before as a default so I have no idea what is meant to happen... need to look into that myself.

[PhantomPhixer]

so I did a load of testing.. and I found out that the user:group permissions weren't being applied, this is on 10.15.7 and 11.x. so I modified this line: chown -R "${consoleuser}":_developer "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/*

to be

chown -R "$consoleuser":_developer "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/*

and it worked.

I have also made all the permissions assignments specific rather than all at the /usr/local/ level as there are aother apps located in there, e.g. jamf.

[Honestpuck]

That sounds fantastic. Would you prefer to just send it to me or open a pull request?

[PhantomPhixer]

homebrew- install.sh.zip brewea.sh.zip here you go. Feel free to test it and maybe refine it. I also made a complimentary extension attribute.

[Honestpuck]

Thanks, Mark.

I'll look at that on the weekend.
