Error Installing Homebrew - Brew Command Not Found

bash, homebrew, osx-mountain-lion, ruby, terminal

Solution

The warning is telling you what is wrong. The problem is that `brew` is kept in `/usr/local/bin`

So, you can try `/usr/local/bin/brew doctor`

To fix it permanently alter your bash profile (.bashrc or .profile in your home directory) and add the following line:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

On Apple silicone it's

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin/:$PATH

Problem

I've spent the bulk of my Friday trying to get the latest version of Ruby installed on my new MacBook Air (w/ Mountain Lion installed). I have all the latest versions of XCode and command line tools. But I can't seem to get Homebrew to work! Here's a screenshot of where I keep getting stuck (I'm a new user, so can't embed this image). As you can see I used the following to instal Homebrew: ``` ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)" ``` While there was a "warning" it seemed as though the installation worked: ``` Warning: /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH. ==> Installation successful! ``` Despite that, when I try to run "brew doctor" I received the following: ``` -bash: brew: command not found ``` Again, I'm trying to install homebrew, so i can instal the latest version of ruby -- I'm looking to learn to code in ruby, but kind of screwed if I can even get a development environment running! :)
