Installing brew on Mac 10.6 results in syntax error - homebrew

Running the following command from http://brew.sh/:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
...result in:
-e:192: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting $end
.map { |d| File.join(HOMEBREW_PREFIX, d) }
^
I'm using zsh on Mac OS 10.6.

ok so to install manually through terminal do
$ cd /usr/local
$ mkdir homebrew && curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
then you need to change your bash_profile like this:
$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/homebrew/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
you might need to change permissions to the homebrew folder as well:
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/homebrew
this worked for me

The official homebrew install command use some bashism. The easiest way to solve this is to run the homebrew install command with bash -c in front of it :
bash -c '/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"'

Fast forward to 2020 and homebrew is no longer ruby based, but bash-based. Also, it officially only supports 10.13 or higher, while keeping an eye out for 10.9 users.
The new way to get homebrew on 10.6 or lower is by using TigerBrew:
https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew
This is a maintained fork of homebrew, with the purpose of offering support for 10.4-10.7.
After installing tigerbrew, install a newer curl: brew install curl.
That should fix any ssl issues.

How to uninstall Homebrew of Rosetta and install Homebrew native on Mac Bigsu (M1)

Previously I have installed Homebrew rosetta version on MacOs M1,
now I see HomeBrew has native version, So how do I remove HomeBrew on rosetta and install the native version.
Please help me with this problem, Thanks
Uninstall Rosetta version of Homebrew
Run in rosetta mode inside terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
Then install natively inside the terminal (without rosetta):
(with help of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv2ylxro7rM)
cd /opt
sudo mkdir homebrew
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /opt/homebrew
curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
(Add the Homebrew bin directory to the PATH if you are using zsh)
echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

cannot execute binary file while deploying rails app on heroku

I am trying to deploy my Rails app on Heroku and having an error.
I am on macOS and, I have run are
replace REPLACE_ME_OS/REPLACE_ME_ARCH with values as noted below
$ wget https://cli-assets.heroku.com/heroku-cli/channels/stable/heroku-cli-linux-x64.tar.gz -O heroku.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf heroku.tar.gz
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin
$ sudo mv heroku-cli-v6.x.x-darwin-64 /usr/local/lib/heroku
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/heroku/bin/heroku /usr/local/bin/heroku
and when I run heroku -v, I am getting
/usr/local/bin/heroku: line 29: /usr/local/lib/heroku/bin/node: cannot execute binary file
Any help?
You've downloaded the Linux version, not the macOS version. Use the macOS installer available directly from Heroku or use Homebrew:
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku

Can't install language pack

I'm trying to install italian language pack on a VM instance with Debian. I've tried almost everything but it still can't find the language pack.
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install language-pack-it-base
$ apt-get install language-pack-it
It returns:
E: Unable to locate package language-pack-it
It's the same with other languages.
Any hint?
To install language-pack-it-base:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-it-base/language-pack-it-base_14.10+20141020_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i language-pack-it-base_14.10+20141020_all.deb
To install language-pack-it:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-it/language-pack-it_14.10+20141020_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i language-pack-it_14.10+20141020_all.deb
Verify the installation of the packages using dpkg -l
$ dpkg -l | grep language-pack-it
‘ii’ status indicates a successful installation.
If you get dependency errors during the installation, run the command below and re-install the packages.
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

How to uninstall homebrew?

I installed homebrew today without really knowing what I was doing, and now my scikit-learn package is broken. I want to undo everything that I did by uninstalling homebrew, and tried following the tips here:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/FAQ
However, I think homebrew installed into /usr/bin/local, and not /usr/bin/, so I'm not sure I can use the instructions in the link.
When I initially installed homebrew (ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"), I got the following messages:
==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/Library/...
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
==> The following directories will be made group writable:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/local/share/man/man3
/usr/local/share/man/man5
/usr/local/share/man/man7
Can I just delete the files in
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/Library/...
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
I'm terrified of screwing something up in the uninstallation process.
Incidentally, would uninstalling homebrew even restore my system to what it was before? How would I go about doing that?
This worked for me
Official brew uninstalling steps:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
But /usr/bin/ruby is just symlink in order to find your ruby you need to type
which ruby
Which will give you /snap/bin/ruby
So then just use this :
/snap/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
This is covered in the homebrew FAQ:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/FAQ.md#how-do-i-uninstall-homebrew
It specifies a script you can run to do it. You should run that script. As of right now, the script says something like:
#!/bin/sh
# Just copy and paste the lines below (all at once, it won't work line by line!)
# MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT IT DOES FIRST! THERE IS NO WARRANTY!
function abort {
echo "$1"
exit 1
}
set -e
/usr/bin/which -s git || abort "brew install git first!"
test -d /usr/local/.git || abort "brew update first!"
cd `brew --prefix`
git checkout master
git ls-files -z | pbcopy
rm -rf Cellar
bin/brew prune
pbpaste | xargs -0 rm
rm -r Library/Homebrew Library/Aliases Library/Formula Library/Contributions
test -d Library/LinkedKegs && rm -r Library/LinkedKegs
rmdir -p bin Library share/man/man1 2> /dev/null
rm -rf .git
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew
rm -rf /Library/Caches/Homebrew
Just run this code in terminal:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Run this in the cli:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
The is the updated recommended way
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
You may gout output like this:
The following possible Homebrew files were not deleted:
/opt/homebrew/Frameworks/
/opt/homebrew/bin/
/opt/homebrew/etc/
/opt/homebrew/include/
/opt/homebrew/lib/
/opt/homebrew/opt/
/opt/homebrew/sbin/
/opt/homebrew/share/
/opt/homebrew/var/
You may wish to remove them yourself.
To remove run:
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
Clean as a whistle! 😚

wicked_pdf does not run on Ubuntu server : wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server

I'm trying to use wicked_pdf on my prod server but it keeps failling :
RuntimeError (Failed to execute:
"/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf" -q "file:////tmp/wicked_pdf20130709-23109-1adqx5g.html" "/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file20130709-23109-1ic5dbe.pdf"
Error: PDF could not be generated!
Command Error: wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server
):
app/controllers/contrats_controller.rb:15:in `block (2 levels) in show'
app/controllers/contrats_controller.rb:11:in `show'
I tried to follow this answer : wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server but it still does not work.
This post helped me to resolve my problem :
http://www.stormconsultancy.co.uk/blog/development/generating-pdfs-in-rails-with-pdfkit-and-deploying-to-a-server/
I'm reproducing here the step from this post that helped me to install it :
# first, installing dependencies
sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
# for 64bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
He also create an initializer to tell to pdfKit where it is, so this method is for wicked PDF and PDF Kit.
Resolved this problem in this tread https://stackoverflow.com/a/34947479/5320149
I found method to resolve this problem without fake X server.
In newest version of wkhtmltopdf dont need X server for work, but it no into official linux repositories.
Solution for Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (trusty) i386
$ sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-i386.deb

Solution for Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (trusty) amd64
$ sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
$ wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com test.pdf
Verify you have xvfb installed, or install it using apt-get
install xvfb.
Create a file called wkhtmltopdf.sh and add the following:
xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 640x480x16" wkhtmltopdf $*
Change the dimensions (640x480x16) to match whatever virtual screen parameters you want it to emulate.
Move the shell script to /usr/bin, and set permissions:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
Optionally, you can add a symbolic link in your project directory:
ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh wkhtmltopdf
See this and this for reference.
