and my system integrity is disabled

Please re-enable it.

You need to uninstall and reinstall Homebrew using the instructions here: https://github.com/Homebrew/install

[ghost]

uninstall can't locate homebrew and install fails with the exact same error

[MikeMcQuaid]

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

[ghost]

nope, same

[MikeMcQuaid]

What's the output of running that command (if any) and what did you try afterwards and what was the output then?

What does ls -lha /usr/local/bin output?

[MikeMcQuaid]

and ls -lha /usr/local?

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin and then reinstall.

With a fresh Sierra, I have the exact same problem. Initial install failed in the same way - permission denied. Uninstall cannot locate home-brew.

With a fresh Sierra, I have the exact same problem.

What was already in /usr/local/bin in a fresh Sierra?

[astubbs]

Hard to say, I didn't set it up. Don't have a log of what was in it before I ran the install command.

[astubbs]

Ok so when I say fresh, I can't be sure exactly how "fresh" it was :/

[astubbs]

Strange. If I make /usr/local/bin user writeable, everything works as expected :/

[astubbs]

Nice. But if I was in the group that owned the dir - it should have worked. Any ideas?

[MikeMcQuaid]

@astubbs Your /usr/local/bin was not writeable.

[astubbs]

But it was group writable for my group right?

@astubbs I don't know what's going on. You've got it fixed now so it's not worth digging into any further on our end. Thanks!

[astubbs]

Sure. I just personally like getting to the bottom of things and dislike not understanding systems 😁
