I got return Don't run this as root! when execute one-line installation as root, do I need to execute as other users instead of root?

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Don't run this as root!

Yes, that's correct. Run it as a different user than run, preferably a user with sudo access. One option is to create a linuxbrew user.
