Cannot install Homebrew in Mac Sierra

I have a problem installing homebrew in mac sierra.

I followed the instructions from this link: https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/installing-homebrew-on-macos-sierra-package-manager-for-unix-apps/

This is the command:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

The link exists but when I type this in the terminal, I encounter this error: curl: (35) Server aborted the SSL handshake

Can anyone suggest a solution to this?

Many thanks, Ill appreciate any help.

Please use this to install homebrew in MacOS, previous one was deprecated.

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

I run into this issue, and it is caused by the network unstabitily.

My solution is:

Uninstall the homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"

Then install it again:

ruby -e "$(curl --insecure -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

It works for me.

Open the link in browser and save the file as install.rb. Then run

ruby install.rb

Have you tried xcode-select --install before that command? This solution may work on some systems.

Another potential issue is your curl maybe too old. Upgrade to 7.46+ may solve this. You have to build curl from scratch if so.

If nothing helps, and you really want to install brew without second thought, try adding --insecure after -fsSL.

At last, you can always pull the git repo and install manually.
