I am having some trouble with brew installs. So I have done the following:
Uninstalled homebrew with:
$ rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
Reinstalled homebrew with:
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
$ brew doctor
Your system is raring to brew.
Try running any install & I get the following output:
$ brew install node
Error: Permission denied - /Library/Caches/Homebrew/Formula/node.brewing
What is going on here? This is also giving me issues with using npm and yeoman which I'd really like to use :(
Did you perhaps install brew with an other user, or with sudo
previously?
Check the permissions of /Library/Caches/Homebrew
, and force it to be writable for your user, by either changing its owner, or its permissions.
You might also try to uninstall with something like https://gist.github.com/1173223 and try the install again.
