homebrew install error Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master --tags --force

Question

I couldn't install homebrew.

Methods I tried:

1. change http_proxy value `export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:10818;export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:10818;
2. raise postBuffer value git config --global http.postBuffer 5242880000
3. change script using ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" instead of /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL... It worked. Can anyone possibly explain why it works? Thanks

Terminal keeps showing this message

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem and I think we have the same issue and it always breaks when I reached installing homebrew/core:

error: RPC failed; curl 56 LibreSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno

I used these resources to solve the problem Homebrew install: Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1

my steps:

1. I deleted all the folders related to Homebrew, you find them at start of install run: (put in script and run as you might need to do more than once, like me :/) ==> This script will install:

   /usr/local/bin/brew /usr/local/share/doc/homebrew /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1 /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/brew /usr/local/Homebrew

2. I ensured all network connection is ok and I can ping github.com

3. I ensured my email is assigned to account on github

   git config --global user.email [email protected]

4. as you did increase the post buffer value

   git config --global http.postBuffer 5242880000

5. modify the security setting on ssl transfer

   git config --globle http.sslVerify "false"

Then it all worked and started to download well. I did not break but it was taking a very long time... I remember leaving my MacBook Pro and coming back after a long time and it was still transferring in...I hope I was able to help.

It took me a whole day to solve it but the two links have all the details if you need more help.
