Use the single line installation on a brand new install (same occurs from shrink wrapped) installations with MacOS 10.14.5, results in "Can not install brew because it is not currently available from the software update server"

What you were trying to do (and why)

Install brew with /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" even with xcode-select --install run first and than installing brew fails.

What happened (include command output)

Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

TL:DR you have to install Xcode CLT manually (I've already scripted this, but multiple topics have been opened on brew.sh regarding this)

What you expected to happen

The single line installation process to work.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" on a brand new, unmolested installation of Mac OSX 10.14.5

xcode-select —install fails for me. This started on Tuesday. I noticed that there was a beta for the CLT on Monday during wwdc, but then it disappeared.

I confirmed on a network with caching server I cannot download the pkg and confirmed from home I cannot either.

I am willing to bet the update catalog from Apple is pointing to the beta that was pulled.

I was just about to open an issue.

Installing Xcode itself is really slow and the nice thing about the CLT was it would take a minute or two.

All of our onboarding workflows are broken now. We use Homebrew with Cask to deploy our corporate machines.

Does someone have the ability to open a Radar issue with Apple or talk to someone at WWDC about this?

[MikeMcQuaid]

We cannot fix this. Only Apple can.

What I've done is logged into the developer portal and manually downloaded the dependency and scripted that install before brew attempts its install.

Not ideal, I know, but here it is for anyone who needs it.

hdiutil attach /Path to Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.14_for_Xcode_10.2.dmg

sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools/Command\ Line\ Tools\ \{macOS\ Mojave\ version\ 10.14\).pkg -target "/"

hdiutil detach /Volume/Command*

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

remainder of script

I have a developer account, can you provide some insight into what specifically is failing as I don't have anything to point the apple team too.

I submitted a feedback report - rdar://6128607

[Jarli01]

@mistydemeo any update from Apple on this?

This is the direct link to download Command Line Tools for Xcode 11 Beta. Works more or less fine to me on macOS 10.15 beta.
I do not recommend to install Command Line Tools for Xcode 10.2.1 on macOS 10.15, there are some internal changes related to the migration to Python 3 and other stuff; so, in some cases, Xcode 10.2.1 tools produce some unpredictable results to me (not related to Homebrew, but still).

[MikeMcQuaid]

Fixed by Apple now.

Seems working here...

@rdp that's because apple FTS and this ticket has been closed for 9 days now.
