Finally got Homebrew to install! on El Cap

[chrisNova777]

this is not easy for most boxes running el cap..
if you give up easy dont even try this! lol

some downloads that helped me make this happen:

download GIT installer for macOS..   
https://github.com/timcharper/git_osx_installer

cMake for macOS...
https://cmake.org/download/

if u get a SHA256 error or Curl Error u have to delete the file it lists and try again with -f flag

also another important factor in getting it working is writing a Curl preferences file in your home directory
the path + filename would be ~/.curlrc i think.. but i think youll be ok if u add the following lines that fix the SSL errors + SHA256 errors

Code: [Select]

--insecure
--location
-H  "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"
-H  "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1"
anyway im glad to be able to install the missing software packages to be able to make better use of the unix subsystem of macOS using the "brew" commands

heres a guide - i didnt use thsi guide tho
