Dunno if this is rele

I tried to just sudo gem install sorbet-runtime and that fails:

Fetching sorbet-runtime-0.5.11143.gem
ERROR:  Error installing sorbet-runtime:
	The last version of sorbet-runtime (>= 0) to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 0.5.10461. Try installing it with `gem install sorbet-runtime -v 0.5.10461`
	sorbet-runtime requires Ruby version >= 2.7.0. The current ruby version is 2.6.10.210.

And finally this succeeds:

sudo gem install sorbet-runtime -v 0.5.10461

But then when I run the brew script again I get the same cannot load such file -- sorbet-runtime (LoadError), so it's apparently not using the system gems even if they are present.

So... figuring I need a newer ruby, I went to install ruby 3 and I can't seem to get ruby-install to work because it needs xzcat and I don't have brew to install that... so... Now I'm on a journey to download and compile that.

Could you report this to the install repo? I think more people can help there

Have a same problem.

[kokoiev]

1 step.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
2. install again brew

[AngeloAvv]

Same problem here: all my builds under CI are failing because of sorbet-runtime

[moncefbenaicha]

I had this issue and the cause was the first install didn't go well. The solution is to run the uninstall script:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

I also removed all the folders related to brew: /opt/homebrew/*

Then reinstall again using:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

[MichelBras]

this works. omg thanks

[Fichtme]

Np!

[AngeloAvv]

Not working for me as I'm running the script in a CI process. If you try to install brew and it's already installed, it will fail
