I have some problems with my brew when I was trying to install ffmpeg. I think I did the immature thing (note - after hours of trying) of uninstalling brew (through some article i read online) and trying to reinstall it. But the above output comes in my terminal when I try to install brew again. How can it say Homebrew is already installed when clearly the Cellar file isn't there ?
I had the same issue.
There was no directory called., /usr/local/Cellar but brew installation kept reporting it is already installed.
I resolved the issue by doing the following.,
Step 1 : run
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
(It reported error and didn't run successfully., but I believe it did cleanup)
Step 2 : Being from Windows world., restarted the terminal
Step 3 : Ran again
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
It ran successfully.,
A simple
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/.git
fixed my problem and I could re-install brew
I tried this solution but running "brew cleanup" when the system doesn't detect brew is not possible XD
I came up with a possible solution... I've tried to install MacPort and also didn't installed well, but it seems to uninstall (somehow) brew, so I could reinstall it from scratch
And this time it works! So, maybe it helps somebody!
PS: I think my original problem was that I had internet connection problem when I installed Brew for the first time, and didn't installed well

I'm using Mac OS for development. Now I'm developing an app using Blockcypher API. With Ruby on Rails, when I try to send money using the Gem, it always return this error
FFI::NotFoundError (Function 'OPENSSL_init_ssl' not found in [libssl.dylib])
Already try to upgrade or downgrade the OpenSSL version on my mac but nothing happend and it so frustating. My friend on linux doesn't get this error, work perfectly on his device. Has anyone ever got this error?
I had the same problem, after research for one day I found the solution for rvm ruby-2.7.2 version:
Install openssl version 1.1:
brew update & brew upgrade & brew install openssl#1.1
cd in your openssl lib folder in my case: /usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib
copy files to /usr/lib
cd /usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib
Copy the libssl.1.1.dylib file
sudo cp libssl.1.1.dylib libcrypto.1.1.dylib /usr/local/lib/
make softlink
sudo ln -s libssl.1.1.dylib libssl.dylib
sudo ln -s libcrypto.1.1.dylib libcrypto.dylib
Reinstall ruby with openssl version:
rvm reinstall 2.7.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1

I'm having a problem re-installing homebrew. I am running Mavericks
It started with me trying to install express.js. Homebrew had been installed on my mac for quite some time, never had any trouble with it. I used sudo npm install -g express, but when I ran express --version, I got command not found. Eventually, I found a possible solution online, and just tried to reinstall npm with brew remove npm and brew install npm. Again, I ran into errors (Unfortunately, I didn't save the exact errors) I used brew doctor to try and figure it out, looked up a ton of tutorials and mucked around with homebrew, and I guess I broke something.
Now, I figure I should just try and reinstall homebrew.
I run the install command for homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It returns this message:
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
So, I run
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
This returns:
-bash: brew: command not found
I try running the install command again, and this time, it doesn't tell me homebrew is already installed.
So again, I run the install command for homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
And now I get this:
==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew
/usr/local/Library/...
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
Press RETURN to continue or any other key to abort

==> Next steps
Run brew doctor before you install anything
Run brew help to get started
Running brew doctor or brew help , however, results in
-bash: brew: command not found
I really don't know how to fix this. And why is the brew installer referring to a repository I used as a test for a little web project? (right above Installation succesful!)
I am doing some Rails programming and I consistently see Homebrew referenced in solutions around the web but have never used it.
I also notice Homebrew in the terminal version 2.9 as an option next to "Shell -> New" from the terminal drop down but when I select homebrew and issue commands, they fail.
Usually with the "command not found" error.
Strangely enough I have been unable to locate a simple command to determine whether brew is installed or not.
How do I check to see if Homebrew is already installed on my Mac?
brew help. If brew is there, you get output. If not, you get 'command not found'. If you need to check in a script, you can work out how to redirect output and check $?.
I use this to perform update or install:
which -s brew
if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
# Install Homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
else
brew update
fi
The standard way of figuring out if something is installed is to use which.
If Brew is installed.
>>> which brew
/usr/local/bin/brew
If Brew is not installed.
>>> which brew
brew not found
Note: The "not installed" message depends on your shell. zsh is shown above. bash will just not print anything. csh will say brew: Command not found. In the "installed" case, all shells will print the path.)
It works with all command line programs. Try which grep or which python. Since it tells you the program that you're running, it's helpful when debugging as well.
While which is the most common way of checking if a program is installed, it will tell you a program is installed ONLY if it's in the $PATH. So if your program is installed, but the $PATH wasn't updated for whatever reason*, which will tell you the program isn't installed.
(*One example scenario is changing from Bash to Zshell and ~/.zshrc not having the old $PATH from ~/.bash_profile)
command -v foo is a better alternative to which foo. command -v brew will output nothing if Homebrew is not installed
command -v brew
Here's a sample script to check if Homebrew is installed, install it if it isn't, update if it is.
if [[ $(command -v brew) == "" ]]; then
echo "Installing Hombrew"
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
else
echo "Updating Homebrew"
brew update
fi
brew -v or brew --version does the trick!
I just type brew -v in terminal if you have it it will respond with the version number installed.
Location of the brew where it installed
which brew
version of home brew install
brew --version
[ ! -f "`which brew`" ] && echo "not installed"
Explaination: If brew is not installed run command after &&
brew doctor checks if Homebrew is installed and working properly.
use either the which or type built-in tools.
i.e.: which brew or type brew
Maybe your mac don't received the path
enter image description here
Run command below
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
And run to check that work
brew help
Beginners normally do, the homebrew --version which is wrong.
Do instead, brew --version. brew help works also. If these two commands are not executed, you don't have homebrew installed.
Another one possible way:
# Check if Ninja is installed
if ! which ninja > /dev/null
then
echo 'Ninja installation...'
brew install ninja
fi
In my case Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
brew -v
OutPut-
Homebrew 2.2.2
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 71aa; last commit 2020-01-07)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 84f00; last commit 2020-01-07)
Yes you can run which brew, but you may have it installed and it says it is not found if you are using zsh. You will need to add it to your .zshrc file.
I find it simple to use brew help command to find it is installed or not. There was a user guide on the homebrew download page.
If it is not installed then it will show 'command not found'
If you need to install homebrew then paste this on terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
jest write brew -v in terminal and if you have it , you will see there version number and the install date .
like this :
Homebrew 3.3.12
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision c3cacc9cd1d; last commit 2022-01-31)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision fb6ec06d8b; last commit 2022-01-31)
Once you install Homebrew, type command brew doctor in terminal.
If you get the following message:
Your system is ready to brew
then you are good to go and you have successfully installed homebrew.
If you get any warnings, you can try fixing it.
Another way to do it is using the "command" builtin tool
if [ "$(command -v brew)" ]; then
echo "command \"brew\" exists on system"
fi
in your terminal, do which brew and itll tell you where it was installed at within your computer, but itll only work in zsh not in bash.
Running Catalina 10.15.4 I ran the permissions command below to get brew to install
sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/*
I'm trying to install glue 0.3 for OXS Mountain Lion and ran into this error after installing homebrew (Error: Cowardly refusing to sudo brew install You can use brew with sudo, but only if the brew executable is owned by root. However, this is both not recommended and completely unsupported so do so at your own risk.) I got this error after the first step for installing glue 0.3 ($ sudo brew install jpeg). No idea how to fix this...please help!
sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/brew
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
Use the above command instead of changing the owner of brew to root.
This is the suggested method by the Owner of homebrew in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/9953
Answered by the developers here:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/9953
I solved it by NOT using sudo, and changing the permissions on whatever file it says cannot be accessed without sudo.
For example, I could not access /usr/local/Cellar, so I entered the following (as specified here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/3930)
sudo chmod g+w /usr/local/Cellar
sudo chgrp staff /usr/local/Cellar
For High Sierra macOS 10.13.3 or newer.
None of the solutions given here worked for me on this version. The only (and the best) fix is to uninstall brew and install it again with the following terminal commands. Note you will lose your current kegs, so you should get a list of the installed kegs, for reinstalling them after reinstalling brew as shown below under step 1. Actually, this was a good opportunity for me to get rid of those kegs that I am no longer using:
List your current kegs for reinstalling, those you wan't to keep:
brew list
Uninstall brew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Reinstall brew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Optionally to prevent your usage being sent to Google Analytics (Update: Fortunately, now this has been stopped, so you may skip this step):
brew analytics off
Finally reinstall your previous kegs from step 1 (or those you still want to use). Replace the text with the square brackets with the list, (i.e. brew install sqlite heroku ):
brew install [list of kegs from step 1]
I have updated my macos to sierra and npm stopped working. Below are the steps followed to fix them.
Uninstall Node and install it from brew and follow the below steps
sudo chmod g+w /usr/local/Cellar
sudo chgrp staff /usr/local/Cellar
sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/brew
sudo brew postinstall node
This was helpful for me
http://digitizor.com/fix-cowardly-refusing-sudo-error-brew/
As quoted in the text, you essentially have to change the user and group of brew to root and wheel respectively.

==> Caveats
In the interest of allowing you to run `nginx` without `sudo`, the default
port is set to localhost:8080.
If you want to host pages on your local machine to the public, you should
change that to localhost:80, and run `sudo nginx`. You'll need to turn off
any other web servers running port 80, of course.
You can start nginx automatically on login running as your user with:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.2.4/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
Though note that if running as your user, the launch agent will fail if you
try to use a port below 1024 (such as http's default of 80.)

I had this issue a few days ago with installation of Yeoman. It seems that some of the folders in /usr/local might not be owned by you and that can cause issues. In my case I had a couple of folders in /usr/local/ like that.
Go to /usr/local
cd /usr/local
Check who owns the folders
ls -l
Do the following for folders not owned by you (replacing sub-foldername with sub folders name obviously):
sudo chown $(whoami) /usr/local/<sub-foldername>
and then call
brew link pcre
It should link successfully.
Hope this helps.
This can sometimes happen if there area already files (or symlinks) with the same name. To force a link, you can use brew link -f pcre. If you want to see whether there are any files preventing the link, you can use brew link --dry-run pcre.
If there are no files listed by brew link --dry-run pcre, then it is likely that jwwishart's answer is the correct one.
I had to remove manually and reinstall pcre and openssl then nginx will work:
brew remove pcre
brew remove openssl
brew install pcre
brew install openssl
nginx
Was getting
erma4inapower#MacBook-Pro-Dmitrij ~ brew services start php
Error: Permission denied # rb_sysopen - /Users/erma4inapower/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php.plist
Ended up:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /Users/erma4inapower/Library/LaunchAgents/
I had the same issue and was causing problems while other services using brew.
how to fix run
brew doctor
remove all files which are causing the issue. might have to do
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
if warning comes up
make sure you are in master branch by
git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
checkout Important is the brew doctor command which help me fix the issue.
