I am trying to install Homebrew on OSX El Capitan. All latest OSX and Xcode updates have been installed.
I am using this command in terminal:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
And I get this response:
curl: (1) Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl
Elsewhere I read that you can run this command to fix:
sudo port install curl +ssl
But this gave me:
sudo: port: command not found
Can anybody help?

I am summarising my answer from comments.
In your case it seems that something has installed a version of curl without into https support into your local folder. Maybe you tried to compile it yourself (the standard
.configure && make && make install
procedure installs programs into/usr/local
for example.You can force the command to use system curl by replacing
curl
by/usr/bin/curl
in it, thus use:When you have Homebrew successfully installed you can re-install the curl in your local folder by using:
There might be some additional steps as you have to overwrite files that are already there. You might need to use the
--overwrite
option.
