What is the output of uname -m on your machine?

[gromgit]

on WSL

WSL1, or WSL2? WSL1 has proven to be seriously problematic with Homebrew, though it usually manifests by inability to run just-installed binaries.

Try running:

/bin/bash -x -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" 2>&1 | tee /tmp/install.log

then post the contents of /tmp/install.log. (Please post text output as text, not screenshots as you've been doing so far.)

Having the same problem, would appreciate a fix. armv71 is my output of uname -m

armv71 is my output of uname -m

That's a:

• 32-bit
• ARM CPU

so two strikes against official support. If you want to continue, you'll have to be prepared to put in a CRAP-TON of work, and figure out a lot of things by yourself.

As the docs say:

You may need to install your own Ruby using your system package manager, a PPA, or rbenv/ruby-build as we no longer distribute a Homebrew Portable Ruby for ARM.

At this writing, that means a Ruby v2.6.8 install. I've had the most luck with using rbenv/ruby-build as the docs suggest, but if your platform already has a precompiled Ruby of the right version, you can try using that instead.

Next, you'll have to build all formulae from source, no bottles for you. On a 32-bit ARM, toolchains like gcc, rust and even go will take a LONG time to build.

And many formulae may not even build on 32-bit CPUs in their current form. You'd have to figure out how these formulae need to be adjusted

You have been warned.
