How to Install Homebrew on Debian-based Distros

Steps required to install Homebrew on MX Linux (and other Debian-based distros)

Steps

  1. Update apt cache and optionally do a full upgrade

     apt update
 apt full-upgrade # optional, reboot if needed

  2. Install build tools

     apt install build-essential procps curl file git

  3. Install homebrew:

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

  4. Set brew environment variables

     [ -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew ] && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
 
 # You most likely want to add the above line to your shell startup file as well.

  5. Make brew doctor happy

     brew doctor
 
 # Ignore the warning about config scripts

  6. Install gcc (as recommended by the installer script)

     brew install gcc
