open your /etc/paths file, put /usr/local/bin on top of /usr/bin
$ sudo vi /etc/paths
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
and Restart the terminal, @mmel
There are many ways to update your path. Jun1st answer works great. Another method is to augment your .bash_profile
to have:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"
The line above places /usr/local/bin
and /usr/local/sbin
in front of your $PATH
. Once you source your .bash_profile
or start a new terminal you can verify your path by echo'ing it out.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Users/<your account>/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Once satisfied with the result running $ brew doctor
again should no longer produce your error.
This blog post helped me out in resolving issues I ran into. http://moncefbelyamani.com/how-to-install-xcode-homebrew-git-rvm-ruby-on-mac/
Just run the following line in your favorite terminal application:
echo export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
Restart your terminal and run
brew doctor
the issue should be resolved
open bash profile in textEdit
open -e .bash_profile
Edit file or paste in front of PATH export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin
save & close the file
*To open .bash_profile directly open textEdit > file > recent
