Mac OSX系统homebrew update Fetching failed问题解决方案

1. brew update error

(i) 问题出现及现象描述

昨天换了台电脑，有些软件需要重新安装或更新一下，遇到了下面的问题

cv@xys-MacBook-Pro ~ % brew update
touch: /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied
error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied

(ii) 解决方案

在StackOverflow上找到了一个类似的问题，用高赞的回答解决了这个问题。

直接通过改变 /usr/local 的所属用户进而解决权限问题。

不同的版本使用的指令略有不同，如果是 macOS High Sierra 或更高版本的系统的用户，使用下面的指令可以修改所属权，

~$ sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*

如果是 macOS Sierra 或更低版本的系统的用户，使用下面的指令

~$ sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

查看本机系统版本信息，可以通过单击左上角苹果 Logo ==> 关于本机，就能看到系统版本号及其名称。版本号之间的高低可以通过WikiPedia上面记载的版本与名称对应列表来查询。

2. brew update "Fetching homebrew-cask failed!"

(i) 问题描述

尽管权限问题用上述方法解决了，但后续执行时又遇到了一点问题，这次是主要是Homebrew的其中两个组成部分homebrew-cask和homebrew-core引起的，出现了如下所示的 "Fetching failed" 错误。

cv@xys-MBP ~ % brew update
Error: Fetching /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask failed!
Fetching /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core failed!
Updated 2 taps (homebrew/cask and caskroom/cask).

(ii) 解决方案

尝试了一些方法都没解决，最后选择重新安装 Homebrew，毕竟没有什么问题是重装不能解决的，如过有，就连系统一起重装...话说回来，重装之后确实没有问题了（\汗）。

首先自然是卸载已有的安装版本，指令是 /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"，结果如下。

cv@xys-MBP ~ % /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Warning: The Ruby Homebrew uninstaller is now deprecated and has been rewritten in
Bash. Please migrate to the following command:
  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"   

curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to raw.githubusercontent.com:443

接着当然是安装新版本，指令是/bin/zsh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitee.com/cunkai/HomebrewCN/raw/master/Homebrew.sh)"，结果如下，中间有一次需要根据自己的需求选择源并输入 root 密码。

cv@xys-MBP ~ % /bin/zsh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitee.com/cunkai/HomebrewCN/raw/master/Homebrew.sh)"

               开始执行Brew自动安装程序

        https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/111014448

请选择一个下载镜像，例如中科大，输入1回车。
源有时候不稳定，如果git克隆报错重新运行脚本选择源。cask非必须，有部分人需要。
1、中科大下载源 2、清华大学下载源 3、北京外国语大学下载源  4、腾讯下载源（不推荐） 5、阿里巴巴下载源(不推荐 缺少cask源)

请输入序号:

我选择了中科大下载源，输入 1 回车即可。

  你选择了中国科学技术大学下载源

！！！此脚本将要删除之前的brew(包括它下载的软件)，请自行备份。
->是否现在开始执行脚本（N/Y）

是否执行，选择是，输入 Y 回车继续。接着输入密码后正常情况下就能一直运行到最后了，如果中间断了根据提示进行相应的操作即可。

--> 脚本开始执行
 Mac os设置开机密码方法：
  (设置开机密码：在左上角苹果图标->系统偏好设置->用户与群组->更改密码)
  (如果提示This incident will be reported. 在用户与群组中查看是否管理员)
==> 通过命令删除之前的brew、创建一个新的Homebrew文件夹
请输入开机密码，输入过程不显示，输入完后回车

Brew自动安装程序运行完成
国内地址已经配置完成

  桌面的Old_Homebrew文件夹，大致看看没有你需要的可以删除。

初步介绍几个brew命令
本地软件库列表：brew ls
查找软件：brew search google（其中google替换为要查找的关键字）
查看brew版本：brew -v  更新brew版本：brew update
安装cask软件：brew install --cask firefox 把firefox换成你要安装的

 重启终端 或者 运行 source /Users/cv/.zprofile   否则可能无法使用

安装完成后按照提示运行 source 命令

cv@xys-MBP ~ % source ~/.zprofile

至此重装过程结束，开始正常使用 Homebrew。
