FAQ- Homebrew update error not work on OSX
brew update 错误是这样的
chown: /usr/local: Operation not permitted
然后网上osx 10.11, 10.12的解决方法这样的
The problem mainly occurs after updating OS X to El Capitan (OS X 10.11) or macOS Sierra (macOS 10.12). This is mainly because of file permission issues with El Capitan’s or later macOS's new SIP process. Try changing permissions of /usr/local directory.
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
If it still doesn't work, use following steps and everything will be fine. This may be because homebrew is not updated.
1. open terminal 2. $ cd /usr/local/Library/Homebrew 3. $ git reset --hard 4. $ git clean -df 5. $ brew update
10.13之后库克怒了,不管你怎么执行命令都不让你运行 哪怕是root ,所以有人这么干:
看来只有关掉SIP了 1.重启Mac，按住Command + R键直到Apple Logo出现，进入Recovery Mode模式（我感觉我是按了好半天） 2.点击工具里的Terminal（终端） 3.输入csrutil disable，之后回车 4.重启Mac 5.重启完成后，终端中输入 sudo chflags norestricted /usr/local && sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local 成功执行，没有报操作不允许了 （如果想重新开启安全设置，则重复1、2步骤，输入csrutil enable就可以了）
然而根本没这么麻烦 这样就可以搞定 OS X 10.13 brew not work (简单的说就是卸载了再安装)
