Error installing Homebrew onto macOS Catalina 10.15.6 - homebrew

I've tried downloading brew with this link:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
However I'm getting the following error message:

Can you try to install it following the instructions on their website ? https://brew.sh/
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Unable to install Homebrew on BigSur "Login denied"

I am trying to install homebrew on MacOS BigSur, using the command foudn on the homebrew web page:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
But when I do I get this error message, which I suspect has something to so with performing an unshallow clone of the repo. I don't really know how to get past it though.

(newbie) Homebrew install failing

I'm new to all the dev world and I'm facing problems to install Homebrew in a recently formatted Mac.
macOS Catalina 10.15.4
Xcode cli installed and updated
when running the code from brew.sh (/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)")
I'm getting the following error:

After all that I can't install cask and I'm getting the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated, remembering I'm new to dev world.

How to fix Homebrew error "fatal: early EOF"?

I'm trying to install Homebrew on MacOS Catalina.

I was having the same problem with the Mac M1 Big Sur.
The comment above was a big help.
Step 1:
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Step 2:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Then it failed.
Step 3:
cd /opt/homebrew/library/taps/homebrew
Step 4:
sudo rmdir homebrew-core
Step 5:
git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core /opt/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core --depth=1
I also logged into Github on the browser, not sure if that mattered.
I had the same problem. Thankfully, the above answer put me in the right track. I just had to made changes on step 3, 4, and 5.
Step 1
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Step 2
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Step 3
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew
Step 4
sudo rm -r homebrew-core
Step 5
git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core --depth=1

Homebrew is not working anymore

I used to have Homebrew installed, but then at some point it broke, so I tried reinstalling it.
I tried running:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It gave:
-e:70: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
(I don't know why it says it is installed, running brew gives "zsh: command not found: brew")
So I tried running that:
zsh: command not found: brew
Then I tried running it without brew clean-up. Which executed. I re-ran:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It starts downloading and installing until it gets to this point:

I don't know where to go from here. Can someone help me?
Did you restart your terminal after installing zsh? brew is possibly not loaded for zshell. Also you need to add usr/local/ to your $path in .zshrc zsh configuration file should be in the in root ~/.zshrc
