Error : Running the installation script

[jimenezfer]

Please fill out one of the templates at https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/issues/new/choose Am on ubuntu 18.04 , when I run the curl link:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"

I get this error:

==> This script will install: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/doc/homebrew /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/man/man1/brew.1 /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/etc/bash_completion.d/brew /home/foxelvoret/.cache/Homebrew/ /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew

Press RETURN to continue or any other key to abort ==> Downloading and installing Linuxbrew... error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/.rubocop.yml: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/.simplecov: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/PATH.rb: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/README.md: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/brew.rb: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/brew.sh: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/build.rb: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/build_environment.rb: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/build_options.rb: Permission denied error: unable to create file Library/Homebrew/cache_store.rb: Permission denied fatal: cannot create directory at 'Library/Homebrew/cask': Permission denied Failed during: git reset --hard origin/master

I flailed at the error by changing permissions , chown the dir to my user, but nothing helped.

Only the alternative installation was able to resolve this.

I thought it would be a good idea to leave this for the next traveler.

Closing

Cheers!
