Thank you, you are amazing
None of the above worked for me. Keep getting permissions errors when updating homebrew.
Example Permission Denied Error:
/Users/{insert username}/Library/Caches/Homebrew/api/formula_names.before.txt: Permission denied
The solution that worked was just deleting the cache files:
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/
Additionally, ran the following for good measure:
sudo chown -R {your username}:admin ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/
Then reinstall Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Worked for me. thank you!
Thank you!
