Install Homebrew in a Mac

I am trying to install Homebrew in a Mac v 10.12.2 using

brew install node

But I got these errors:

1-First, install Homebrew.

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

2-Then run brew update to make sure Homebrew is up to date.

brew update

3-As a safe measure you should run brew doctor to make sure your system is ready to brew. Run the command below and follow any recommendations from brew doctor.

brew doctor

4-Next, add Homebrew's location to your $PATH in your .bash_profile or .zshrc file.

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

5-Next, install Node (npm will be installed with Node):

brew install node

6-To test out your Node and npm install, try installing Grunt (you might be asked to run with sudo):

npm install -g grunt-cli
